Terrified concert-goers left a trail of blood in their wake as they dragged their dead friends along a street and desperately to clung window ledges while trying to flee the carnage in Paris.
They were among dozens fleeing through a back exit of the Bataclan theatre, where four gunmen mercilessly fired into the crowd, killing up to 100 people.
The chilling footage emerged as French President Francois Hollande said the Islamic State orchestrated the worst attacks in France for 70 years, declaring it 'act of war' and vowing to 'mercilessly' strike back.
Hollande said after an emergency security meeting Saturday that the death toll has risen to 130 in a string of near-simultaneous attacks Friday night on a concert hall, stadium and Paris cafes.
He declared three days of national mourning and put the nation's security at its highest level.
The video footage which emerged of the stampede into a street behind the theatre shows how one woman clung desperately to the window ledge of the second floor as she tried to hide from the terrorists.
Meanwhile, bodies lie by the entrance – all apparently dead, before one moves and attempts to stand. Bleeding heavily, and unable to lift themselves, the camera captures the moment they try to use their phone – possibly to call for help.
The video was taken by Le Monde journalist Daniel Psenny from his flat in a building opposite. He was later injured himself, shot in the arm through his window.
France was in a nationwide state of emergency on Saturday after at least 130 people were killed in a series of coordinated terror attacks in the heart of Paris that have paralysed the country.
At least eight militants, all wearing suicide vests, brought unprecedented violence to the streets of the French capital in the bloodiest attack in Europe since the Madrid train bombings in 2004.
Armed with AK-47 machine guns and shouting 'Allahu Akbar', four of the group marched into a rock concert at the Bataclan theatre, murdering up to 120 and taking dozens hostage before detonating their explosive belts.
Another 11 people were gunned down at a Cambodian restaurant while two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside the Stade de France sports stadium where President Francois Hollande was watching the French football team play Germany.
Police are now hunting possible accomplices as 1,500 extra soldiers were mobilised to guard French facilities while schools and universities were closed.

Many French schools are normally open on Saturdays, but the French government ordered them shuttered as part of emergency security measures.
Soldiers were deployed at key sites around Paris, including Parliament buildings and religious sites, while in a highly unusual move Disneyland Paris has been closed to the public.
The government has also re-imposed border controls that were abandoned as part of Europe's free-travel zone.
