Motorist ploughs into protesting students

A MOTORIST believed to be angry with demonstrators blocking a Paris street drove into the crowd of students protesting against jobs law yesterday, injuring 10 people.

Furious demonstrators overturned the car and tried to drag the driver out before police intervened.

The law, which would make it easier for companies to hire and fire people under the age of 26, has sparked weeks of strikes and massive protests, mainly driven by fears that the law will erode job security.
