Violence broke out on the streets of Paris today as anti riot police confronted a mass of French yellow vest protesters on the 13th consecutive weekend of demonstrations.
Tear gas and baton charges were used around the Champs Elysee, after demonstrators threw stones at officers and vandals tried to smash shop windows.
Shocking footage shows protesters gathering around a man whose hand appears to have been ripped off which spurts blood as he cries in pain.
Other grisly scenes show demonstrators trying to topple boards, throwing planks of wood and cornering police as more tear gas is thrown.
Many businesses were shut as the Yellow Vests - who are named after their high visibility jackets - mobilised across the country.
