Following a police shooting death of a young driver in the Nanterre district, riots have broken out in Paris.
After the young person, identified as Nal M, reportedly violated driving laws, the incident was captured on camera on Tuesday.
Anger broke out around the French city, and this morning there had already been 24 arrests as a result of violent protests.
I lost a 17-year-old, I was alone with him, and they took my kid away from me, said Nal’s heartbroken mother, who wished to remain unnamed.
‘He was still a child, he needed his mother.’
The police officer who killed the boy has been detained on homicide charges as an investigation is carried out.
