French police on Friday arrested the man who was recently released from prison and was due to stand trial in another case, a sword attack on a migrant camp in Paris.

Earlier today, incidents broke out in central Paris during a Kurdish protest rally. The gathered overturned vehicles, at least one car was set on fire and small fires were lit near Democracy Square. The Paris police chief said 11 arrests were made and about 30 people were slightly injured.

Clashes with the security forces continued for about two hours, until the gathering dispersed.
