A small caliber gun was used to fire the shots near the corner of Rue Bichat and Rue du Faubourg which borders to 10th and 11th arrondissements.

The shooter has reportedly been arrested after he surrendered.

It is unclear at this stage what the motive behind the shooting was.

There are conflicting reports over whether the gunman has been arrested or not.

Another man has been questioned and left alone in a police car, according to reports.

There have been no reported injuries.

Tensions are running high in the French capital where a co-ordinated terror attack in November killed 130 people.

Last month Belgium also suffered at the hands of sick jihadis who launched two bloody attacks on Brussels.

One of the 20 people who died in the attack on the Metro in Brussels was dad-of-one and Briton David Dixon.

The second terror attack in Brussels was on Zaventem airport when two explosives disguised at suitcases were detonated by suicide bombers, killing 11 people.
