French riot police fired tear gas and charged a group of protesters in the French city of Lyon on Thursday as demonstrations took place across the country in a renewed challenge to President Emmanuel Macron after weeks of unrest.
Some of the protesters were seen shouting anti-police slogans and some were dressed all in black, with face coverings.
The Interior Ministry said police in Lyon had been confronted by several hundred hardcore protesters and that the violence had been contained, although tensions remained high.
