( CNN ) -- A man was arrested Friday at the Cannes Film Festival after firing a gun loaded with blanks during a live television interview , sending an Oscar-winning actor running for cover . Canal+ was interviewing Christoph Waltz , who won the Academy Award for best supporting actor in `` Django Unchained , '' and actor Daniel Auteuil when a man fired two shots from a starter pistol , according to authorities and the French television station . The man allegedly had a dummy grenade in one hand , and footage and photographs of the incident show Waltz and Auteuil being taken offstage and attendees scrambling for cover . The incident , which occurred on the Canal+ set along the popular Promenade de la Croisette -- the main boulevard in Cannes -- briefly interrupted the show . Canal+ anchor Michel Denisot came back on the air a short time later and told viewers : `` The shots fired were blanks and the grenade was fake . That 's what we know . '' No injuries were reported ; French authorities have not identified the man . Pictures of the arrest obtained by The Hollywood Reporter show police wrestling the man to the ground . The man said to a woman next to him , 'If I were you , I would n't stick around here ' , '' Denisot later told France 24 . It was far from the typical scripted fare of the Cannes Film Festival , where chaos plays out on screen and not among the audience . The annual festival brings together the rich and famous from around the world for movie screenings and glittering parties . The incident followed news the same day that more than $ 1 million in jewels belonging to the Swiss firm Chopard were stolen from a hotel room in Cannes . The theft of the jewels occurred Thursday night , on the second day of the festival , which opened Wednesday and runs through May 26 . Commandant Bernard Mascarelli , of the Nice police , said the jewelry was stolen from a safe in the Suite Novotel hotel on Boulevard Carnot in Cannes . A Chopard employee was staying in the room but left it to go to dinner from 8 p.m. to 3 a.m. local time , he said . She returned to discover the safe containing the jewels was missing . The whole safe had been unscrewed from the inside of the hotel room and carried out , Mascarelli said . No detailed description has yet been given of the stolen jewels . Chopard , which is an official sponsor of the festival , has provided the Palme d'Or trophy awarded to the director of the best feature film for the past 15 years . The trophy features a 24-carat gold palm attached to a piece of cut crystal . The firm is promoting its Red Carpet Collection 2013 at this year 's festival , with a number of actresses sporting its gems . CNN 's Saskya Vandoorne and Laura Smith-Spark contributed to this report .
