In response to the ongoing riots, French President Emmanuel Macron has scheduled an emergency government meeting on Friday. The unrest erupted nationwide as a protest against the fatal police shooting earlier in the week. According to Reuters, 421 individuals were arrested across France on Thursday evening, with approximately 40,000 police officers deployed to restore order.

In Nanterre, protesters set torched cars, barricaded streets and hurled projectiles at the police following a peaceful vigil held earlier in tribute to the young victim.

In central Paris, a Nike shoe store was broken into, resulting in several arrests as windows were smashed along the Rue de Rivoli shopping street, according to Paris police.
