A shopkeeper in the area told AFP she had heard seven or eight shots in rue d'Enghien in the 10th arrondissement, saying, "It was total panic. We locked ourselves inside."

The Paris prosecutor's office said an investigation had been opened and that "a man aged between 60 and 70 has been arrested and is in custody."

"His identity is in the process of being checked," it added.

On his part, French Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin, said he would travel to Paris and visit the scene of the "dramatic" shooting.
