It's 1.30am and MEPs are streaming back into the European Parliament where they have been locked in since 8pm after #Strasbourg attacks. Likely to be one of the best attended sessions in a while
Most attendeeds in EP tonight are in various states of cold, hunger and drunkenness after 5.5 hours locked in #EuropeanParliament #Strasbourg
President of Parliament Tajani tells MEPs that the #Strasbourg attacker is of "Maghrebi origin". He is still on the run from the police
Tajani is getting heckled from MEPs after telling them they can leave the parliament at their own risk but no option for the staff or workers inside the building
Five hours of drinking inside the European Parliament isn't helping as MEPs wade in to tell Tajani - with no translation - that they don't want to "abandon" their staff inside the parliament #Strasbourg
There are an estimated 2000 people in the European Parliament. MEPs are their staff are beginning to leave the building with police escorts to areas outside the city centre and #Neudorf area where the attacker is at large #Strasbourg
