He said: “He was wearing a dark top and Bermuda shorts. Municipal cameras would have caught him on his bike.”
A witness living in a flat on Victor Hugo said: “We heard a monstrous noise, and our windows came in. We could see that people were running everywhere down below. I saw people wounded.
“The explosion was from the pavement in front of the bakery. We’ve heard it was a bomb packed with nuts and bolts.” …
Kamel Amerouche, the regional authority’s communications chief, said the casualties, including an eight-year-old girl, suffered leg wounds describing the injuries as minor.
He said the explosion occurred in or outside a store of the bakery chain Brioche Doree.
