Riots Continue in France’s Grenoble after Teen Deaths (+Video)

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Rioters clashed with police in the eastern French city of Grenoble on third consecutive night after two teenagers died in a collision with a coach while they were being chased by police.

The teenagers, aged 17 and 19, ran into a coach on a bridge as they fled by scooter late on Saturday evening.

Rioting youths in the Mistral district of the city – where the victims lived – were filmed hurling fireworks and petrol bombs at police on Monday night, while as many as 65 vehicles were also reportedly torched,  RT reported.

Twitter video footage from the scene shows police attempting to thwart the riot from behind the barricade that the youths had erected by launching canisters of tear gas. Hundreds of fireworks rang out among the skyrise apartment buildings in the city, and balls of flames appeared to land at random.

Four firefighters and several policemen were reportedly injured in the chaotic clashes, while a 25-year-old man was arrested for throwing projectiles at police.
