Attacker drives into police car in Paris

NEW YORK (FOX 5 NY) - The French national gendarmerie service says the driver of a car that rammed a law enforcement vehicle has been arrested.

The tweet Monday confirmed an attack had taken place on Paris' famed Champs-Elysees.

Police had earlier warned people to avoid the neighborhood, one of the French capital's most popular with tourists. Paris police said neither gendarmes nor passers-by were injured.

The 31-year-old man from a Paris suburb had been flagged for extremism.
