Two sets of migrant groups attacked each other and set upon police, parked vehicles and pedestrians in two massive fights outside the Stalingrad Metro train station, in northeast Paris on Thursday night.

The shocking video shows hundreds of people hitting each other with planks of wood, metal bars and pieces of debris, before police fire tear gas canisters to stop the violence.

The mayhem is believed to have been in response to a man's arrest for being drunk and disorderly, Le Parisien newspaper reported.

The first brawl erupted at 9pm and “the situation gradually subsided,” according to police.

But after the authorities shut down the fight, “spirits again became very heated” and a second brawl broke out about 11:30pm.
