French youths just want to have fun.
The female officer, reportedly pulled from her car and hit in the face in Chanteloup-les-Vignes, was hospitalized overnight and released, the prefecture said.
On Friday night, youths forced a bus driver out of his empty bus in the Noe housing project in Chanteloup-les Vignes before setting it afire, officials said. When police arrived, clashes with the youths began.
Some 15 youths masked and armed with Molotov cocktails also went after several police officers as they headed home. Thierry Couture, head of public safety for Yvelines, said they retreated after they realized they were outnumbered. However, the female officer's car stalled and they went after her. She called in reinforcements but not before being injured in the face and wrist.
No arrests were reported in Chanteloup-les-Vignes.
