Hundreds of people who had gathered at a restaurant that was the site of one of last Friday's attacks in Paris, suddenly ran away from the scene this evening in what turned out to be false alarm of a terrorist attack.
Images from the aftermath showed shoes left on the ground and trampled flowers at the memorial site.
The city has been on edge after Islamic State militants staged a string of attacks across several sites of the French capital on Friday, killing close to 130 people and injuring hundreds more.
The alarm may have been sparked by nearby firecrackers.
