An armed man took two hostages on Friday noon in Colombes in the west of Paris, a local media reported.
According to the news channel BFMTV, the hostage-taking occurred at 13:00 local time ( 1200 GMT) after an armed man entered an office of La Poste and seized two people.
The hostage-taker was a person with past convictions, and he called the police himself. But, his demands were not clear yet, it was reported.
A civil security helicopter flew over the area where a large security perimeter was set up.
The new hostage taking came after an Islamist gunman killed four hostages at a Jewish supermarket last Friday. Two brothers shot dead 12 people in an attack on the satirical paper Charlie Hebdo two days earlier. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
