French police have initiated a manhunt following an explosion in central Lyon on Friday that wounded more than a dozen people just two days ahead of the country's hotly contested European Parliament elections.
Soldiers secure the site of a suspected bomb attack in central Lyon, France. A small explosion lightly injured several people.
An image of the man, wearing light-coloured shorts and a longsleeved dark top, was posted. He was described as “dangerous”. A police source said the package contained “screws or bolts”. It had been placed in front of a bakery near a busy corner of two popular streets at around 5:30 pm on a balmy spring evening.
Macron, speaking in a live Facebook interview, said: “It’s not for me to give a toll but it appears there are no fatalities. There have been injuries, so obviously I’m thinking of these injured and their families.”
