Nunez said about 50 people attacked the police station in La Courneuve, mostly with fireworks shot from launchers, adding that the attackers also threw stones and molotov cocktails in a standoff that lasted about 30 minutes.
In French cities including Paris, Marseille, Bordeaux and Toulouse there were six consecutive nights of rioting and violence last summer after the police shooting of Nahel Merzouk, 17, who was of north African descent, during a traffic stop.
