About 300 people were evacuated from a neighbourhood in Sarcelles, a multicultural Paris suburb with a large Jewish population, owing to a “suspicious” car near the town’s synagogue, French Interior Minister Laurent Nunez said on Sunday.
Nunez, speaking to French broadcaster BFM, said the incident took place on Saturday evening.
Nunez said an investigation was under way and that a “military weapon” had been found in the vehicle and that the motive and suspect had not been identified.
