Police in Paris are on high alert after gun attacks at the newspaper Liberation and the bank Societe Generale.

A photographer, 27, was seriously hurt and a motorist was briefly taken hostage not far from Societe Generale and forced to drive to the Champs Elysees before he was allowed to go.

On Friday an armed man broke into the Paris offices of the 24-hour news channel BFMTV but fired no shots.

Police have now been stationed outside all the main media offices in Paris.
