Hundreds of people marched in support of a French mayor whose house was attacked by a burning car, as the country entered a second week gripped by violent protests and riots
A large crowd in L’Haÿ-les-Roses, a suburb of Paris, showed solidarity with Mayor Vincent Jeanbrun, whose house was rammed by the vehicle early on Sunday morning. The gathering came after a calmer night in the country, which has been racked by angry protests since a police office shot and killed a 17-year-old boy at a traffic stop last Tuesday. Jeanbrun’s address was well known in the community before the attack, CNN affiliate BFMTV reported.
” “While trying to protect the children and escape the attackers, my wife and one of my children were injured,” he said, adding that he had “no words strong enough to describe his emotion towards the horror of this night.” France’s Ministry of Interior said 157 people were detained overnight into Monday morning, down from more than 700 the night before.
