| Subject: 'Yellow vest' violence erupts across Europe: Paris riots spread to Brussels and Amsterdam as 1,400 are arrested Sat Dec 08, 2018 9:09 pm | |
| Violent protests in Paris spread to Brussels and Amsterdam today, as 1,400 are arrested and French police call up to 8,000 reinforcements in a bid to quell the rising discontent.
This evening, protests continue in Paris as rioters set fire to cars, burn barricades and smash windows in pockets of violence across the city centre.
Police reinforcements were boosted to 8,000 across the city, with armoured vehicles deployed in Paris for the first time ever.
More than 650 protesters have been detained in the capital so far today. Many of them stopped as they arrived at train stations or meeting points carrying hammers, petanque balls and other potential missiles.
Nationwide, 89,000 police officers were on duty in towns, cities and on numerous motorways which caused havoc on France's road network, including a blockade of a border crossing with Spain.
