French police have detained one person during a search raid of the suspected driver's house, who careened through crowds of people in Nice on Thursday night, iTele TV channel reports.

"We have seen policemen in masks take someone away, we don't know who it was," an iTele correspondent reported.

The correspondent also confirmed, that a bomb squad detonated a suspicious parcel while raiding a truck parked near the house.

On Thursday evening, a heavy truck hit a crowd watching Bastille Day fireworks in southern France, killing 84 people and wounding dozens more. President Francois Hollande said the assault was of a "terrorist nature."
