A raging dad was seen dragging his rioting son into his car and speeding off home as the streets of Paris continued to rage last night.
The man, who appears to be the boy's father, has earned praise for his courageous actions - with some social media users even reccommending he be awarded France's highest civilian and military merit, the Legion of Honour.
The streets of France were ablaze for the fourth night in a row after a 17-year-old boy, identified only as Nahel M, was gunned down by cops on Tuesday.
Beleagured officers have lamented that they are "at war" with "savage" hordes of rioters hellbent on tearing the city apart.
Flames continue to scorch Parisian ground as the city becomes an apocalyptic wasteland with makeshift barriers lining the roads.
As rioters light fires and pummel cops with fireworks, officers deployed stun grenades, tear gas and water cannons to quell the unrest.
But despite the dangers out in the open, one dad was set on reigning in his son, even if it meant driving into a warzone.
At first, the clip appears to show two figures stomping across a zebra crossing, but as the camera zooms in it is clear that it shows a young boy - who looks to be in his mid-teens or maybe younger - being pulled by the ear across a pedestrian walkway.
In a second video, it shows the man - who is reportedly his father - throwing the boy into the boot of the car as the youngster is heard shouting out in protest.
The dad sharply brings the boot door down before jumping in the driver's seat and making off with his wild son hollaring in the back..
The footage has gone viral in France, with many applauding the man for taking decisive action to protect his boy.
One wrote on Twitter: "Phew there are still responsible parents! Congratulations to this gentleman."
Another chimed in: "The Legion of Honor for him please."
"If every daron [parent] was like that, it would quickly be settled, not everyone would benefit from the same education," said a third.
Brit travellers have been warned about travel to the French capital, with the Foreign Office noting that there is a risk of curfews, travel restrictions, and even being caught up in the violence.
The Foreign Office said protests in Paris and other locations have “turned violent with shops, public buildings and parked cars all targeted”.
"[The unrest] may lead to disruptions to road travel or targeting of parked cars in areas where protests take place”, their advisory added.
The advice urged travellers to “monitor the media, avoid protests, check the latest advice with operators when travelling and follow the advice of the authorities”.
President Emmanuel Macron, 45, has been criticised after being spotted boogying at an Elton John concert as riot police battled it out, putting their lives at risk on the front lines of the unrest.
