French authorities have launched an anti-terror probe into the knife attack.
The prosecutor's office in Paris said in a statement that the probe would focus on "killings linked to a terrorist organization" and the "attempted killing of a public official," two terror-related charges.
Marseille police have urged people in the city to avoid the area around Saint-Charles station.
