Summary

During student protests in Marseille, France, a 15-year-old was arrested for using a makeshift flamethrower—created by spraying an aerosol can in front of a lighter—to burn a woman's face. The woman, described in one account as a social worker attempting to intervene in the protest, suffered first-degree burns and received medical treatment. The broader protests, initially focused on poor school conditions and maintenance, escalated into widespread rioting involving vandalism, arson attacks on public transport, and violence. According to official reports, the demonstrations affected 1,027 high schools with 222 blockades, resulted in nearly 2,000 arrests, and left 305 police officers and 65 education staff members injured. Reports also document a separate incident in which a school supervisor was beaten by a mob during a blockade at another location.
