A female French protestor was pictured being violently trampled by riot police as a wave of violent demonstrations sprung up in Paris.

Heart-stopping photos show the woman attempt to confront a troupe of fully-geared riot officers.

But she is quickly pressed back and stomped all over by the cops - who appear to be taking no mercy.

Thousands of people flooded the streets of the French capital this week to voice their anger at Emmanuel Macron's government with rail strikes and student protests.

Rail workers are currently engaged in rolling strikes against Macron's plans to revamp the national railway company SNCF.

While Students have occupied campuses across France over the President's reform of the university admission system.

In fact, workers from a variety of different industries came out in solidarity with the rail workers and students in a show of force to the young President.

However, the demonstrations may not bear much fruit, as Macron has previously said he won't cave in under pressure and that he was elected president last year to reform the country.

Several demonstrations took place in cities across France, including a massive march through Paris.

on Thursday, French police were forced to storm a Paris university site occupied for a month by students protesting against admission reforms.

Paris police said the evacuation of the Tolbiac site, a 22-story tower in southern Paris, went 'without incident' early Friday.

Interior minister Gerard Collomb said in a tweet that 'the rule of law will be restored everywhere'.

Students have blocked access or disrupted classes in several other campuses across the country in recent weeks, in protest at changes to admission rules that they fear threaten access to public university for all French high school graduates.
