Violence spreads to cities across France as officer involved in shooting says he didn’t intend to kill driver
More than 400 people have been arrested across France, officials said, as unrest spread to major cities during a third night of riots triggered by the deadly police shooting of a teenager of Algerian and Moroccan descent during a traffic stop.
At least three towns around Paris, including Clamart, Compiègne and Neuilly-sur-Marne, imposed full or partial night-time curfews as a police intelligence report leaked to French media predicted “widespread urban violence over the coming nights”.
