The city streets were practically empty, and it was difficult to count protesters, but they were actively using fireworks to attack police officers. Several cars on the street, where clashes were taking place, were set on fire, with one of the vehicles having been flipped over. A small group of police officers was seen moving down the street, but protesters were keeping their distance and quickly retreating, the correspondent reported. French media reported protests continued in other French cities and regions as well, including Toulouse, Lille, Hauts-de-France and Viry-Chatillon, with protesters using rocks to attack police and law enforcement responding with tear gas. The mother of the deceased teenager has called on residents of Nanterre to gather for a "silent march" on Thursday afternoon in front of the city prefecture to protest against the fatal shooting of her son, according to her social media. French Interior Minister said earlier on Wednesday that 31 people were detained during the riots, 24 police officers were slightly injured and about 40 cars were torched. He added that the French authorities would deploy more than 2,000 police officers in the suburbs of Paris to ensure security.
