Police in Paris clashed with Yellow Vest protesters on Saturday after the demonstrators ignored a ban on their rally, leading to a number of arrests.
Law enforcement officers moved in to disperse the crowd, and confrontations turned physical as officers attempted to enforce the prohibition on the gathering.
Officials had announced that the rally was not permitted, citing public order concerns, but participants proceeded with the demonstration despite the ban.
The Yellow Vests movement, which began in 2018 as a series of anti‑government protests over fuel taxes and economic inequality, has periodically staged large‑scale actions across France, often resulting in clashes with police.
