Watch | Man keeps eating his sandwich as rioters, police clash in France

Man continues to eat his sandwich as rioters and police clash in Nanterre, France. The video has now gone viral on social media. France saw unrest spread to major cities in a third night of riots on Thursday (local time) as President Emmanuel Macron fought to contain a mounting crisis triggered by the deadly police shooting of a teenager of Algerian and Moroccan descent during a traffic stop. Forty thousand police officers were deployed across France -- nearly four times the numbers mobilised on Wednesday -- but there were few signs that government appeals to de-escalate the violence would quell the widespread anger. In Nanterre, the working-class town on the western outskirts of Paris where 17-year-old Nahel M was shot dead on Tuesday, protesters torched cars, barricaded streets and hurled projectiles at police following a peaceful vigil.
