A man has rammed his car into a police vehicle in the Champs-Elysees shopping district in Paris, French officials said.
Interior ministry spokesman Pierre-Henry Brandet said the driver, whose car exploded as he tried to ram a police vehicle, is “most probably” dead.
Mr Brandet said bomb squads were still securing the scene.
He said the attacker appeared to have acted deliberately.
France’s anti-terrorism prosecutor has opened an investigation into the incident.
Police had earlier warned people to avoid the neighbourhood, one of the French capital’s most popular with tourists.
