Striking Paris taxi drivers attack Uber car

A dramatic video has emerged of an apparent Uber driver and his car being attacked amid taxi strikes in Paris, France on Thursday.

The footage shows a group of men running to the occupied black car and trying to pull the doors from it. A man appears to spray the group with an unknown substance and run before they approach the car - some wearing 'on strike' armbands.

According to the filmer the car was an Uber private hire vehicle and several of the group were arrested shortly after the incident. The driver waited around an hour to complete police reports.
