600 arrests made, 200 officers hurt in clashes

Protesters erected barricades, lit fires and shot fireworks at police in French streets overnight as tensions grew over the deadly police shooting of a 17-year-old that has shocked the nation. More than 600 people were arrested and at least 200 police officers injured, as the government struggled to restore order on a third night of unrest. Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said 667 people had been arrested in what he described as a night of "rare violence". French President Emmanuel Macron was scheduled later on Friday to chair a new crisis meeting of ministers.
