Student celebrations in Paris turn violent

PARIS (AFP) - High school students celebrating the end of their final exams went on the rampage near the Eiffel Tower in Paris early Saturday, resulting in 15 arrests and two policemen injured, one seriously.

Thousands of young people gathered in the Champ de Mars, a grassy area next to the tower, but as their celebrations became boisterous police used teargas to disperse them and they moved to a nearby shopping district looting one shop and breaking windows in others.

Police said a few "trouble makers" among the 5,000 young people celebrating the end of their baccalaureat exams threw bottles and 15 were arrested. Police charged, throwing tear gas grenades, as fleeing youths set fire to trash cans.
