The 15 th district of Paris has witnessed heavily armored police officers surrounded the hotel who were reportedly looking for accomplices to Paris attacks at Friday night.
"Dozens of cops with automatic weapons taking cover and training their weapons on the Pullman hotel," Reuters quoted a local as saying.
The French interior ministry spokesman told Reuters later on that the police cordon put around the Pullman Hotel was a false alert. A spokesman for the Accor hotel chain also confirmed it was a false bomb alert.
On November 13, 2015 a series of terrorist attacks across Paris left more than 150 people dead. The attacks included a shooting at a Cambodian restaurant in the 10th arrondissement, another shooting at the Bataclan concert hall in Paris`s 11th arrondissement, and explosions outside the Stade de France stadium, becoming the worst terrorist incident in French history.
