The man was then pursued by police and attacked two other people with a hammer before being stopped with a Taser and arrested. The injured were treated by emergency services.
Mr Darmanin said the alleged attacker had shouted "Allahu Akbar", Arabic for "God is greatest", and later told police he was upset because "so many Muslims are dying in Afghanistan and in Palestine".
He said the suspect was sentenced to four years in prison in 2016 for planning a separate attack and was on the French security services watchlist.
