    A tiger broke out of a circus in central Paris and roamed streets just south of the Eiffel Tower before its circus handlers shot and killed it.

    Police tweeted that the tiger had gone on the loose in the 15th district but "the danger has been eliminated".

    Nobody was hurt by the 200kg (31-stone) tiger, according to local reports.

    Tram traffic was suspended in the area. Residents called the emergency services when they spotted the animal on the run just before 18:00 (17:00 GMT).
