At least 65 people have been injured, including 11 members of the security forces, during violent protests Saturday in Paris, BBC reported.

The protests mark the third week of "Yellow Vest" protests, triggered by President Macron's fuel tax, over the cost of living.

According to BBC, police have fired tear gas, stun grenades and water cannon. Masked protesters threw projectiles at officers.

The "Yellow Vests" movement has grown in recent weeks, as the government plans a tax increase on fuel, including gasoline and diesel, beginning on January 1, 2019 to promote environmentally friendly practices.
