There were two people taken hostage, according to initial reports.

However, France Bleu radio said that the perpetrator was holding at least three people.

The police could not confirm to AP whether the hostage-taker is actually armed.

“The man claims to be in possession of a bomb and a handgun,” France Bleu said, adding that the hostage-taker demanded to speak with Iranian embassy.

The French police have said they believe the incident isn’t related to terrorism.
