440 arrested, 76 injured as French student protests turn violent
French police arrested 440 people, mostly minors, and 76 people were injured during student protests over overcrowded classes. Protesting students accuse police of heavy-handed tactics including teargas and flash-ball guns. A crisis-meeting readout said the movement morphed from school blockades into urban violence. Policing minors at this scale will face close scrutiny.
