A man reportedly shouting “Allah Akbar “ and wearing a fake explosives belt has been shot dead outside a police station in Paris - a year after the jihadist massacre at Charlie Hebdo magazine.
The man attacked and slighty injured a policeman outside the station in the Goutte d’Or district in northern Paris.
A wire protruded from the jacket and was connected to a package taped to the inner lining.
“Upon examination, it was found that the package contained no explosives,” the source said.
