– A police station in the Paris suburb of Champigny-sur-Marne was attacked Saturday night by about 40 people armed with metal bars and fireworks, Reuters reports. “Violent attack last night on the police station of Champigny with mortar shots and various projectiles,” Paris police tweeted. “No police officer was injured.” According to the Telegraph, police say the assailants tried to force their way into the police station but were unable to do so. Nobody was arrested in connection with the attack. It was the third attack on the Champigny-sur-Marne police station in two years. The mayor of Champigny-sur-Marne says the attack may have been triggered by a scooter accident that led to a confrontation with the police. “It was an organized attack of about 40 people who wanted to do battle,” he says. “For a few days it has been tense with people who have a certain willingness to do battle with the police.”
