Riots broke out yesterday in the northern districts of Paris, on the second night of tension after the death, on Saturday, of a man at the wheel of a truck who was shot by a police officer.
In Sevran, eight vehicles, including a truck, were set on fire and the fire spread to four other vehicles, a police source said, adding that five arrests had been made.
Fiery roadblocks were erected in an adjacent area, according to a police source.
In neighboring Olne-sur-Bois, a bus also caught fire last night.
The driver of the bus was forced to stop the bus in front of a roadblock that closed the road and asked the passengers to get off. About thirty hooded men armed with iron rods then ordered the driver to get out of the vehicle, which was stolen and set on fire.
The previous night, the police had made arrests for arson and throwing objects against the police forces.
The tension was sparked by the death of a 33-year-old man who was shot dead by a police officer between Sevran and Olne-su-Boa.
Police had located the stolen van and tried to check the driver’s details when he was stopped at a red light.
One of the police officers of the group was found at the height of the window and in conditions under investigation shot when the driver started the stolen vehicle abruptly, it is mentioned in yesterday’s announcement of the Bobini prosecutor.
The truck’s lane ended several hundred meters away after colliding with several parked vehicles.
The General Inspectorate of the French Police is conducting an investigation.
The policeman is in a state of shock, he is being treated and the doctors have not given him permission to testify about the incident.
