''French President Emmanuel Macron slammed the 'barbarism of the Islamist terrorist' in a tribute tweet posted at lunchtime today.

After the deadly melee in central Oslo last night, a man was filmed being wrestled to the ground by police with the help of revellers.

One woman described having to play dead to avoid the shooter's gunfire.

The other site hit during the attack around 1.15am today was next door's Herr Nilsen Jazz Club, where revellers described being hit with flying shards of glass.

She said : 'There was a woman who pulled me down and told me I had to play dead.'

The man then shot the table directly behind her. She escaped London Pub unharmed.

Police lawyer Christian Hatlo said: 'Our overall assessment is that there are grounds to believe that he wanted to cause grave fear in the population.''
