Violence involving Nice fans broke out in Paris ahead of their side’s French Cup final against Lens on Friday.
On Thursday night, a mob of Nice fans was seen marching through the streets of the city before disorder erupted near Canal Saint-Martin. Chairs and bottles were thrown as Nice fans clashed with local groups, with punches and kicks also exchanged during the fighting. A nearby bar was damaged in the unrest.
Around 65 people were reportedly arrested as riot police moved in to disperse the fighting, while six people were injured, one seriously.
