[Xinhua News Agency Micro Special] French police reported on the 8th that after Paris Saint-Germain defeated Britain's Arsenal at home on the 7th to advance to the final of this season's European Football Champions League, celebrations were held in many places in Paris. Some fans were over-camped and provoked trouble. 47 people have been arrested, and three others were injured in the crowd due to car crashes.

Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal 2:1 on the 7th and advanced to the final with a total score of 3-1. It will face Inter Milan, Italy on Munich, Germany on the 31st of this month to compete for its first Champions League title. Considering that the "European Victory Day" commemorating the victory of World War II on the 8th is a French public holiday, Paris deployed more than 2,000 police and emergency personnel on the 7th to deal with possible security incidents during and after the game. On the evening of the 7th, fans gathered in many places in Paris to celebrate. In order to restore traffic order, the police set up a cordon on the Champs-Elysées near the Arc de Triomphe. Some people clashed with police officers, threw debris at them and set off fireworks, causing damage to four cars and damaged windows of some shopping malls along the street.

Paris police said a car rushed into the crowd near the Champs Elysees that night, causing three people to be injured. The Paris Attorney's Office confirmed that a minor injured person was in critical condition and was receiving treatment in the hospital.

According to police, the driver of the accident tried to drive away, but the surrounding people gathered so that the vehicle could not leave the scene. The people in the car then abandoned the car and fled, and the car was set on fire by angry crowds. The Paris prosecutor has launched an investigation into the crimes of attack, hit-and-run and failure to fulfill the obligation to rescue.

In addition, about 500 people gathered that night, Fontainebleau, located near Paris, causing riots. The police used tear gas to disperse the crowd and arrested several troublemakers. (End) (Huang Aiping)
