(AFP) — French police were pulling out all the stops on Saturday to locate a suspect following a blast in the heart of Lyon that wounded 13 people.

“All means have been activated to identify and detain the person who committed this act,” Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz told media in Lyon, France’s third-biggest city.

The police circulated the suspect’s photo on Twitter with two new images late Saturday showing a man wearing a green T-shirt, Bermuda shorts and a carrying a dark rucksack cycling.

They urged witnesses to call on an emergency number if they had any information.

The man appears to be in his thirties and police said they had received “several dozen” calls linked to the blast on Friday evening.
