The home of a Paris suburb mayor was rammed by a vehicle and set alight while his wife and children were asleep inside during the unrest that has gripped the country following Tuesday’s fatal shooting of a teenager by a police officer, the official said on Sunday.
Vincent Jeanbrun, mayor of the southern suburb of L’Hay-les-Roses, said his wife and one of their two children, aged five and seven, were injured as they fled the building in the early hours.
Jeanbrun, from the conservative Les Republicains party, was not at home during the incident but at the town hall monitoring the violence.
