PARIS—The Paris prosecutor’s office opened a judicial investigation Sunday into “attempted murders” after seven people were injured with a sharp metallic hook at a crowded Paris train station on Wednesday.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement that her office asked for the man suspected in the attack to be detained pending further investigation. He was shot and wounded by police during the attack at the Gare du Nord train station, authorities have said.
