French authorities have arrested nine people over a firework attack on a police station in a suburb north of Paris. This came just days after a teenager riding a motorbike was killed when a police car hit him during a car chase after he refused to stop for a police check.
Late Sunday evening, "around 50 people attacked the police station in La Courneuve, mostly with firework mortar shots" Paris police chief Laurent Nunez told TF1 television, adding that the attack was linked to the death of an 18-year-old in a police chase on Wednesday evening.
