Paris attacks: Video shows victims desperately fleeing Bataclan theatre as shots ring out

A video taken by a journalist for the French newspaper Le Monde, shows victims fleeing from the Bataclan theatre in Paris.

The graphic video shows victims frantically exiting the building while sporadic gunshots can be heard throughout.

Some of the victims are shown to be collapsed on the floor and remain motionless throughout the video and two people are seen to be hanging from windows.

Others are running from the scene while one heavily injured victim is dragged down the alleyway.

Journalist Daniel Psenny, recorded the video from his apartment window. He went downstairs after filming the video and was shot in the arm from a window while attempting to rescue victims, he told Le Monde.

The Bataclan theatre has a capacity of 1,500 people and was sold out on the night, according to the BBC.

Latest reports say as many as 128 people have been killed in a night of terror in Paris, with an estimated 80 people in critical condition.
