French radio station Europe 1 first reported on X, formerly known as Twitter, that a man in a building near the consulate had made the threat.

The man was carrying what appeared to be a grenade and explosive vest when he entered the embassy, Reuters reported.

Police have asked people to avoid the area and service was interrupted on a nearby metro line.
