Police have been injured during a shootout in a Paris suburb in an operation believed to be linked to the terror attacks in the city, according to reports.
Reports suggested the several suspects were hiding in an apartment building and police have blocked off the area around Place Jean Jaures. Several offices have been injured.
At least seven explosions were heard at the scene of the stand-off.
Shortly before 6.30am French army units arrived at the scene.
Baptiste Marie, a 26-year-old journalist who lives near the scene of the stand-off, said: "It started with an explosion. Then there was second big explosion. Then two more explosions. There was an hour of gunfire."
Amin Guizani, 21, says: "There were grenades. It was going, stopping. Kalashnikovs. Starting again."
Riot police were clearing the streets, pointing guns at curious residents to move them off the roads.
Authorities are searching for two extremists suspected of taking part in last Friday's attacks, which killed 129 people.
News of a second unidentified terrorist thought to be directly involved in the Paris terror attacks emerged after CCTV indicated there were three extremists involved in the attack on a bar in the city.
It would take the total number of attackers to nine, with seven dead and the eighth surviving gunman, Salah Abdeslam, the subject of an international manhunt.
Authorities evacuated about 20 people from the building and brought to city hall for protection. The stand-off was taking place on rue du Cornillon, in the heart of the historic, multi-cultural town.
Saint Denis is one of France's most historic places. French kings were crowned and buried through the centuries in its famed basilica. Today it is home to a vibrant and very ethnically diverse population and sees sporadic tension between police and violent youths.
