TUNIS, Nov. 1 (Xinhua) -- Two Tunisian policemen were attacked by a suspected extremist with a knife on Wednesday morning near Tunisia's parliament headquarters.
One of the policemen was taken to hospital for treatmen after being injured in the neck, while the other was only slightly injured.
The attacker, named Zied Mohamed Gharbi, 25-year-old, was quickly arrested, local radio Mosaique FM reported.
The Tunisian Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into the attack.
On March 2015, a group of armed men launched a terrorist attack at Bardo National Museum, just near the Wednesday's attack place, that killed 23 people.
