Preliminary charges of attempted murder and kidnapping have been lodged against a man held on suspicion of carrying out recent shotting incidents in Paris.
Abdelhakim Dekhar, 48, was arrested in a car park in Paris on Wednesday after a large-scale manhunt.
He is suspected of threatening a TV station a week ago, before attacking a newspaper office and bank HQ on Monday.
Prosecutors have said that samples of DNA from Dekhar matched that from the crime scenes.
The attacks started on Friday 15 November, when a gunman threatened the Paris TV station, BFMTV.
Then on Monday, a photographer's assistant was seriously hurt in a shooting at La Liberation, and shots were fired in front of the headquarters of the Societe Generale bank in the business district of La Defense.
The BBC reports the suspect was arrested on Wednesday in an underground car park in the Paris suburb of Bois-Colombes following a tip-off from a member of the public.
He was found in a semi-conscious state after an apparent suicide attempt.
Dekhar was sentenced to prison in 1998 for his role in a series of fatal shootings in Paris.
