Daily Mail: 'This is the start of a revolution': Paris rioters steal police assault rifle, torch dozens of cars and vow to 'stay in the streets until Christmas' as fuel protests continue into the night and spread across France - and even to Holland
* 'Yellow Vest' supporters staged fresh protests on the Champs-Elysees which leads to the Arc de Triomphe
* They vowed to continue rioting until Christmas after riot police used tear gas and water cannon to fight back
* Dozens of cars were torched, the Arc de Triomphe was graffitied and shops and houses were ransacked
* French President Emmanuel Macron promised that protesters would be 'held responsible for their acts'
* It comes a week after rioters brought chaos to Paris in a movement against fuel prices and high living costs
The centre of Paris was on lockdown tonight after masked protesters stole an assault rifle from police, clashed with riot squads and set fire to cars and Christmas trees on the Champs-Elysees in furious demonstrations against the French government.
Protesters said today's actions were 'the start of a revolution' that would eclipse the mass strikes and occupation of universities and factories in1968 when the country was on the cusp of civil war.
Fires and clouds of tear gas covered the French capital from early morning until late in the evening, in some of the worst violence ever seen in the French capital as more than 5,000 demonstrators brought chaos to Paris for the second week running.
