This is breaking hard core on France 24 right now
Police earlier surrounded the Iranian consulate and asked the public to avoid the area in the 16th arrondissement (district) of the French capital.
A Paris police official said the man was seen at about 11am local time (0900 GMT) entering the consulate, carrying what appeared to be a grenade and an explosive vest.
The man later left the consulate and on being searched was found not to be carrying any explosives, a police source said.
Le Parisien newspaper said on its website that, according to several witnesses, the man had dragged flags on the floor of the consulate and said he wanted to avenge the death of his brother.
