A French teenager has died from wounds suffered during a violent assault outside a school. It's the second brutal attack on a pupil in a week, prompting President Emmanuel Macron to warn schools need to be protected from the "uninhibited violence" of some youths.

The 15-year-old boy was badly beaten on Thursday near his school in Viry-Châtillon, about 20km south of Paris, and rushed to hospital following a cardiac arrest. He died of his wounds on Friday afternoon, the public prosecutor's office said.
