In Paris, protesters attacked the police station

The mayor of the central districts of Paris, Ariel Weil, said rioters attacked a police station and police had to protect it. On the air of BFMTV, Weil said that part of the law enforcement forces in the city center were forced to defend the site, which reduced the effectiveness of the police in central Paris.

He said it was difficult for the commissioner to distribute personnel across the board because he also had to protect the site itself.

The politician stressed that the situation changed very quickly during the day and noted a large number of pogroms and rapid attacks, with the attackers acting in small and very mobile groups.

Earlier it was reported that the interior Ministry of France called the number of victims of security forces during the riots.
