The French government estimates that more than 900 people have been arrested for the protests against the death of a teenager in Nanterre

MADRID, 30 Jun. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The French Interior Minister, Gérald Darmanin, has raised to 917 the number of detainees during the protests carried out on Thursday against the death of Nahel, a 17-year-old Algerian boy who was killed by a police officer in the town French from Nanterre.

Darmanin has announced a deployment of about 45,000 police and gendarmes during the night of this Friday to combat violence. Likewise, he has once again put on the table the possibility of decreeing a state of emergency in the country.

"In 50 years, we have used the state of emergency four times. President Chirac used it after ten days of riots," he emphasized during an interview on TF1 Info, adding that "no measure is ruled out."

On the other hand, the French Minister of the Interior has referred to the attack suffered by two police officers who were off duty during the early hours of the morning. "They were beaten to the ground like dogs," he denounced.

Meanwhile, the riots in different parts of France continue, especially in the Place de la Concorde, in Paris, where a security device closely follows the actions of the protesters, the newspaper 'Le Parisien' has reported.

The security forces have had to disperse the crowd in the center of Lyon after several demonstrators, gathered to protest police violence in recent days, fired fireworks at the Police.

The same situation is taking place in Marseille, where as part of the riots, a group of people have looted a Sephora brand store, while dozens of protesters have also entered an Apple store in Strasbourg.

On the other hand, a young man in his twenties has died after falling from the roof of a store in Petit-Quevilly, in the Seine-Maritime department, in the context of riots in the city, the newspaper 'Le Figaro' has reported. .
