The shocking incident happened at La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle station in the capital's 15th arrondissement along the line six route.

The Local.fr reported: 'Metro trains in Paris are normally unable to depart a station if the doors are not properly closed.
'However sometimes jackets or straps of bags can be caught in the doors without a problem being signaled to the driver.'
And a spokesperson for Paris police confirmed to The Local that there had indeed been a fatality at La Motte-Picquet-Grenelle station, the DailyMail reports.
