Anti-terrorist commandos from the elite Raid force were sent to the scene.

Grasse, the capital of French perfume industry, is about 27 miles from Nice, where a truck attack killed 86 people in July 2016.

France remains under a state of emergency after a string of deadly attacks in the past two years.
