France’s Interior Ministry confirmed emergency services are dealing with a “security incident” at the world-famous Champs-Élysées.
Paris police on Monday said they are “in control” after armed police stormed the shopping district in the city centre.
Witnesses say a police van was hit by another vehicle which was the on fire sparking the major response.
“It looks like this was a deliberate act,” Interior Ministry Spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet told reporters at the scene.
Brandet said it was very likely that the driver, who had been armed, was dead.
