An Algerian man who was shot after attacking a policeman with a hammer at Notre Dame cathedral has appeared before a judge in Paris.
Farid Ikken, 40, was officially charged with the attempted murder of law enforcement officials and association with terrorists.
The journalist was studying in France for a doctorate in communications.
He was described by the Paris prosecutor as a novice jihadist with an atypical profile.
Francois Molins described Mr Ikken as a professionally successful man, an intellectual, who had never given anyone who knew him the slightest sign of radicalisation.
Last Tuesday in front of Notre-Dame cathedral, Mr Ikken attacked a policeman with a hammer while shouting "This is for Syria", and was then shot and wounded.
