One fan de@d and another in intensive care after violence in 15 French cities following PSG's Champions League win over Arsenal

 A football fan has lost his life, and another is in intensive care after riots broke out across France, following PSG's Champions League win over Arsenal over the weekend.  According to Mail Online, violence broke out in Paris, Rennes, Strasbourg, and Grenoble, with one supporter confirmed de@d and another in intensive care.  Football fans set off fires and vandalised shops. One small group even tried to storm a Paris police station.  A police investigation has been launched into the stabbing of an unidentified 17-year-old man who suffered multiple wounds close to the Champs lyse. He is in intensive care, and another man, 23, died after crashing his motorbike into a concrete block. The Paris prosecutors office said 277 people have been formally placed in police custody, including 82 minors, for alleged offences.  Most were for assault of police officers while other allegations include theft, vandalism, and disturbing the public order. One serious accident involved a driver losing control of a car that rammed into a restaurant's terrace, leaving two people wounded, including one seriously. Interior Minister Laurent Nuez said 57 officers were wounded in total and noted that there was violence in 15 cities across France.  Nuez said that planned celebrations for the team's win on Sunday afternoon at the Champ de Mars, near the Eiffel Tower, would go ahead as scheduled. He warned that police would respond with "firmness and determination" to any potential violence. The PSG team will then be hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee presidential palace. The post One fan de@d and another in intensive care after violence in 15 French cities following PSG's Champions League win over Arsenal appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
