Police in Paris have arrested nearly 200 masked demonstrators who smashed shop windows and torched cars during annual May Day protests, APA reports quoting BBC.
Far-left anarchist groups, known as Black Blocs, hijacked a peaceful rally against President Emmanuel Macron's public sector labour reforms.
Police said about 1,200 masked and hooded protesters attended the annual 1 May demonstration by labour unions.
Four people, including a police officer, were lightly wounded.
The protesters were swamped with teargas and sprayed with a water canon in an effort to disperse them.
