Police swarmed an area in Paris after cops found a “suspicious object” at the Porte de Paris train station in Saint-Denis. The area is now on lockdown.
The station is located near the Stade de France stadium wear games have taken place. The station was mainly empty when the threat was discovered but will be packed again when games resume around 5.40pm local time. It’s unclear if the station will be reopened by then.
While French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said that no “tangible” terror threats had been detected during the first week of the games, Paris has been on edge over the potential of a terrorist attack during the Olympics.
