THE main train station for Disneyland Paris has been evacuated after a suspicious package was found inside.

Witnesses reported seeing police and soldiers with assault rifles “everywhere” around Marne-la-Vallée train station, Daily Star reports.

Tom Wiseman, who had just left the theme park, described the situation as a “potential terror threat”.

“I just left Disneyland Paris. It was bedlam getting on buses. Seems there has been a potential terrorist at one of the main hotels,” he said, according to The Sun.

Local resident Lisa told UK Express: “It seems to be the train station. All taped off and police everywhere. Stay safe. We are in village.”

Another witness named Ben said: “I just left Disneyland Paris on a very crowded bus after being redirected by soldiers with assault rifles away from the bus station.”

A cast member later said on Twitter that the package was just an abandoned bag, though this has not been officially confirmed.

The security threat comes following warnings from terrorist groups, including Islamic State, that Disneyland is one of their prime targets.

In January, police arrested a man carrying two guns at the entrance to a hotel at the theme park. The man, 28, also had a copy of the Koran and a box of ammunition.

France remains in a state of emergency following the Paris attacks in November last year.

The co-ordinated assaults in Paris plunged the country into shock less than a year after the January 2015 attack on the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine and a Jewish supermarket.

This year, on July 14, a 31-year-old Tunisian rammed a 19-tonne truck into crowds of people celebrating Bastille Day in Nice, killing 85 and wounding more than 400.

On July 26, two 19-year-olds stormed a church in the Normandy town of Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray and brutally murdered an elderly priest.
