PARIS — At least 219 people were injured and 780 arrested following violent clashes between football fans and police across France after Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) defeated Arsenal to win the UEFA Champions League final.
French Interior Minister, Laurent Nuñez, said eight people were in serious condition, while 57 police officers were among those injured during the unrest.
He said more than 450 suspects remain in custody as authorities continue investigations into the violence that disrupted transport services in Paris, including buses, trains and rail operations.
A person was also found dead after an accident on the Paris ring road, which rioters reportedly attempted to block overnight. The circumstances surrounding the death of the 24-year-old remain unclear.
