The manhunt has been launched for Salah Abdeslam, a 26-year-old born in Belgian capital Brussels, warning people that he is dangerous and saying “do not intervene yourself”.

Police said earlier that a search was under way for a French man believed to have been directly involved in Friday’s attacks.

The man, one of three brothers believed to be involved in the killings in central Paris, rented a black Volkswagen Polo used by the attackers who left at least 89 people dead inside the Bataclan concert hall.

British police and spies are working closely with counterparts in France and Belgium to identify and pursue those behind the massacre.

Security has been beefed up in UK cities and ports as Britons were urged to remain vigilant, although the terror threat level has not been changed from the second-highest “severe” rating.
