VIDEO: ‘False alarm’ causes hundreds to flee in panic at Paris gathering

With Friday's terrible events still at the forefront of Parisian minds, scenes of panic such as this are understandable.

A gathering of hundreds of people at the Place de la Republique quickly scattered when they mistakenly believed they had heard gunfire. Channel 4 were broadcasting live at the scene when it happened and captured some footage with the presenter Matt Frei remaining remarkably calm during the live broadcast. It is now believed to have been a false alarm. https://youtu.be/LNieVAEaIR0
