Protesters taking part in yellow vest demonstrations in Paris on Saturday started to burn down cars on the streets, a Sputnik correspondent reported
The supporters of the so-called Black Bloc movement are setting cars and dumpsters on fire in the vicinity of Boulevard Jules Ferry.
According to the correspondent, at least two people have been injured during the Saturday demonstrations in Paris.
The wave of the yellow vest rallies started in France in mid-November over planned hikes in fuel taxes.
While the French government abandoned its plans to raise fuel taxes and introduced other measures to improve the country's socioeconomic situation, protesters continue to take to the streets across France every weekend for demonstrations to express their discontent with the government's policies.
Earlier in the day, local media reported that at least 126 people had been detained by police during the demonstrations in Paris.
