Violent clashes in Paris between baton-wielding police and protesters outraged at the police killing of a Chinese man in his home have seen three police officers injured and 35 protesters arrested, authorities said on Tuesday. Demonstrators, who were from the Asian community, gathered on Monday night outside the multicultural 19th district’s police station in the northeast of the French capital, said the Paris Prosecutor’s Office. The crowds of protesters gathered in homage to a Chinese man killed on Sunday by a police officer, angry at reports that he was shot in his home in front of his children while he was cutting up fish. Police say the officer fired in self-defence during a raid because the victim, whom Chinese media say is Chinese, wounded an officer with a “bladed weapon.”China’s Foreign Ministry expressed concern to French authorities on Tuesday over the killing.
