Huge fire breaks out near Gare de Lyon train station in Paris

Source: NBC News

A major train station in the center of Paris was evacuated after a huge fire broke out nearby.

Clouds of black smoke could be seen billowing near the Gare de Lyon station — one of six major stations in the French capital — as a row of parked scooters and motorcycles burned. Police had earlier tweeted that cars were also set alight along the sidewalk.

Police told NBC News that clashes broke out between people attending a concert by singer Fally Ipupa, a star in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and those boycotting it.
