Among the eight police custody, one concerns a projectile throw, the same source said.
According to the prefecture, 500 people demonstrated on Saturday afternoon in downtown Lyon, following a call for "act 101" of "yellow vests" but also support for the "Black Lives Matter" movement and antifas.
Any demonstration being prohibited in this perimeter, the police quickly intervened and clashes broke out, with tear gas and projectiles jets, without causing any injuries, according to the prefecture.
