Rave-Party in Rhône Ends with Hospitalization and Police Injuries

A 20-year-old man is in critical condition, and five officers were injured during attempts to disperse an unauthorized gathering near Lyon.

The rave-party, attended by around 300 people, began in a disused hangar near a refinery and railway tracks in Feyzin, Rhône, despite a prefectural ban.
A 20-year-old participant suffered a serious medical incident and was hospitalized with his condition described as life-threatening.
Police faced resistance during two attempts to evacuate the site, including projectiles thrown by attendees, resulting in injuries to five officers.
The event's location posed safety challenges due to its proximity to hazardous infrastructure, prompting authorities to reposition for broader control of the area.
The gathering concluded Sunday evening, with sound equipment seized and participants reportedly cleaning up most of the site before leaving.
