Riots have broken out in Paris amid anger over police 'heavy-handed' treatment of ethnic minorities during the coronavirus lockdown. 

Police used tear gas and baton charges in Villeneuve-la-Garenne, northern Paris, in the early hours this morning as fireworks exploded in the street. 

Armed police were seen moving through the area as groups of protesters congregated. 

It comes after a 30-year-old was critically injured in the neighbourhood in a collision with an unmarked police car.
