Sarkozy escapes a 'Taser gun' attack


French police have arrested a man armed with a knife and Taser gun for breaking into Nicolas Sarkozy's presidential palace in Paris.

The 25-year-old 'was dragged down and held at gunpoint' as he tried to slip past guards at the main entrance of the Elysee Palace on Monday afternoon, The Daily Mail reported.

A knife and a Taser-type weapon that fires high-voltage electric darts was confiscated from the intruder, a police official said.

'The security team that protects the president are treating this attempted breach of security as an attempt on his (Sarkozy) life,' the official added.
