Anastasia Martino, 26, a shop assistant in a costume shop in front of the Chanel boutique, said she saw “a lonely man with a Kalashnikov on a motorcycle at around 2.30pm. Two minutes later, three other men came out of the jewelry store with some big black sacks, they had automatic guns and escaped aboard two motorcycles “.
