Police fired tear gas to push back black-clad anarchists who ransacked business premises in Paris on May 1 during May Day protests against the policies of newly re-elected President Emmanuel Macron.

Tensions erupted in Paris when some demonstrators smashed windows at some banks, a fast-food restaurant and a real estate agency.(REUTERS)
