At least 40 people armed with metal bars and fireworks have attacked a police station to the south of Paris, according to officials, Sky News reported.
A mob armed with metal bars and fireworks has attacked a police station in the suburbs of Paris, officials in the city have said.
An unidentified group of about 40 people, whose motive was not clear, tried to storm the police station in Champigny-sur-Marne, about nine miles (15km) southeast of central Paris.
The police station is in an area known for drug trafficking, and the local mayor said the attack could be in retaliation for a recent scooter accident allegedly caused by police.
