On Saturday, September 12, police responded to an incident in the 7th arrondissement of Lyon after an unauthorized rap video shoot. According to a police source cited by local news outlet BFM Lyon, officers intervened around 11 PM. The situation involved approximately forty individuals who had masked their faces, prompting law enforcement to disperse the group.
During the dispersal, the individuals reportedly used several fireworks mortars—devices similar to large firecrackers that launch projectiles—to flee the scene. One of these mortars struck an apartment on the seventh floor of a nearby building, causing a fire. Firefighters arrived quickly and managed to extinguish the flames without any injuries reported.
The incident also resulted in the arrest of one man. Authorities have not yet disclosed the specific charges against him or the exact nature of the unauthorized video shoot. The event has raised questions about the use of pyrotechnics in public spaces and the coordination between law enforcement and emergency services in such situations.
Lyon's police department typically handles unauthorized public events, especially those involving potential safety hazards. While the details of this particular case remain under investigation, the swift response by both police and firefighters helped prevent any serious harm to residents in the area.
