“It’s linked to arrests”: in Rillieux-la-Pape, near Lyon, a bus set on fire in retaliation. Fortunately, there were no victims, but other violence took place such as projectiles being fired at the police.

An investigation was opened to try to find these young people. So far, only one arrest has taken place, that of a minor. The CRS 83 company also set up in the town to prevent any overflow and on Wednesday evening the area was no longer served by public transport.
