French police arrested a man carrying two guns Thursday at the entrance to a hotel near Disneyland Paris.
The 28-year-old Paris resident was arrested as he tried to go through security at Disney’s Hotel New York, said Michel Le Prevost, deputy chief of criminal police of the city of Meaux, CNN reported.
Deputy Chief Le Prevost said the man was also carrying a Koran. He is now being questioned by police.
The man was not known by police or intelligence officials, Deputy Chief Le Prevost said, CNN reported.
The man was reportedly arrested quietly and went with police without protest, according to the BBC.
French police also arrested a woman who was seen accompanying the man when the weapons were discovered. It was not immediately clear what accusations the woman faced. French media reported that the guns were pistols, and the weapons and ammunition were found inside a suitcase.
Deputy Chief Le Prevost said authorities were conducting a bomb search of the man’s car.
