French police arrested 855 people involved in acts of violence during demonstrations in Paris, following a new wave of marches that spread across France. Police in the capital said the number of arrests tied to the October 17 demonstrations is a record, according to AFP. Demonstrations took place in Paris and several other French cities on Saturday as people protested against rising living costs and falling purchasing power, roughly six months ahead of the presidential election. The article does not provide details on specific allegations against those arrested or any court steps, but the arrests were made in connection with violence during the protests.
