A policeman in riot-hit New Caledonia on Friday killed a man after being attacked by demonstrators in the aftermath of President Emmanuel Macron’s visit to the French Pacific territory, prosecutors said.
A police officer and his colleague were “physically attacked by a group of around fifteen individuals” in Dumbea just outside the capital Noumea, forcing him to draw his weapon, said prosecutor Yves Dupas. The total death toll from over a week of riots now stands at seven.
