Prosecutors are due to interview a witness after he posted a version of events online.
More than 600 people were arrested in France in the third straight night of street violence over the police killing of a teenager in a Paris suburb. The majority of those arrested overnight Thursday were between 14 and 18 years old, Agence France-Presse reported.
A young man who was in the car with the 17-year-old shot and killed by a police officer in France, sparking unrest across the country, has shared his story to establish the truth.
The protests have spread from Paris, where the initial shooting occurred, to other towns across the country, though most of the violence remains localized to the Paris suburbs.
Rioting raged in cities around France for a fourth night despite a huge police deployment and 1,311 arrests, with cars and buildings set ablaze and stores looted, as family and friends prepared Saturday to bury the 17-year-old whose killing by police unleashed the unrest.
