Police said the officers managed quickly to arrest the assailant, who had used a sharp weapon during the attack at 8am.
One of the injured is in serious condition, while the other two have suffered minor injuries, according to the police.
The police gave no further details about the attack.
This was another disturbing security incident in the host city of the North Olympic Games, which begins after six months.
Paris is increasing security measures as it prepares for welcome 10,500 athletes and millions of visitors to the first Olympic Games in the French capital after a century.
The Olympics will open through a large open-air ceremony along the Seine River on 26 July.
This will be a major security challenge for a city that has been constantly hit by terrorist attacks, especially in 2015.
Recently, a man attacked passersby near the Eiffel Tower in December, killing a German tourist with a knife and hurting two more people. /rel
