PARIS — The police in France fired tear gas after violence broke out at a May Day rally in Paris on Wednesday when masked and hooded vandals smashed vehicles, as the government warned that the traditional labor march risked being overtaken by hooligans. French television stations showed images of the vandals smashing the windshield of a parked van, as clouds of tear gas floated elsewhere over demonstrators who were amassing on the Left Bank of the French capital for the annual union march across the Montparnasse District.
