French police have arrested a 22-year-old man in connection with a knife attack on a soldier near Paris on Saturday, officials say.
The suspect was detained on Wednesday morning in Yvelines, 45km (28 miles) southwest of the capital, Interior Minister Manuel Valls said.
Private First Class Cedric Cordier was stabbed in the neck while on patrol.
French anti-terrorist investigators are handling the case, saying the soldier was targeted because of his profession.
The suspect was traced thanks to DNA left at the scene, unnamed police sources told the AFP news agency.
PFc Cordier was approached from behind and stabbed in the neck with a small-bladed knife in the La Defense business district on Saturday.
