Dramatic video has emerged showing the terrifying shoot-out between French police and machine gun carrying terrorists outside Paris' Bataclan theatre where 89 people were killed.
The footage, taken by photographer Patrick Zachmann, shows armed officers engaging in a gunfight with terrorists, who are thought to include French citizen Ismael Omar Mostefai.
Zachmann, who narrates the footage which shows bullets ricocheting off parked cars and civilians being ushered to safety, said at one point he heard a woman lying on the ground calling out.

He said: "She was asking for help, she was saying "aidez-moi, aidez-moi", so help me, help me.'"
Zachmann said the police officers involved "seemed to be really nervous, even scared".
He added: "It was like panic. You felt it was not under their control."
Briton Nick Alexander was at the Eagles of Death Metal concert and on Sunday was remembered as "a hero".
According to reports the gunmen spoke perfect French and two of them were seen arriving in a black BMW.
Ludovic Mentahov, 20, told MailOnline: "I was walking along the street when I saw a German car pull up ahead, black, a BMW, I think.
