PARIS—Scores of hooded anarchists launched projectiles at riot police, smashed up shop windows, torched cars, and burned barricades during a demonstration in the French capital on Saturday against police violence. The police fired back volleys of tear gas.
Thousands of people had begun marching peacefully in Paris when the clashes erupted between police and pockets of protesters, most dressed in black and their faces covered. Some used hammers to break up paving stones.
