Special forces were sent to the suburbs of the French capital.
This was reported by the agency “Reuters” on Wednesday, May 20, citing witnesses.
According to the media, riots broke out in Arzhantea, a north-western suburb of Paris. Here, in poor areas, radicals burned cars. Similar incidents were recorded in the nearby Bezon district.
This is not the first riot in the area. On Monday night, radicals set fire to garbage cans and wrecked bus stops here. The security forces used tear gas to disperse the criminals.
The riots in Arzhantea started after an 18-year-old motorcyclist was killed in a car accident last Sunday. He ran into a police car and died in hospital. The investigation into the incident is ongoing. However, according to preliminary investigation data, there was no collision with the car of law enforcement officers.
