Clashes between residents and police continued for the third night in France following the death of 17-year-old Nahel M.<br /><br />Shocking footage from the Paris suburb of Colombes shows debris and fires in the streets in scenes, more akin to a warzone, than the French capital. <br /><br />Windows were smashed and several businesses were looted including a Tabac shop and a grocery store.<br /><br />Several cars were also set alight as police desperately tried to regain order. <br /><br />Amine, 24, who didn't want to reveal his last name, said: "A corner shop. An Auchan store and a grocery were stormed.<br /><br />"The police abandoned the city [and left] it in the hands of the rioters." <br /><br />The rioting began on Tuesday after French police shot dead 17-year-old Nahel M. <br /><br />The shooting of Nahel M, who was of Algerian descent, has fuelled arguments around racism and police brutality within the country.<br /><br />The officer who shot Nahel has since apologised to the boy's family and been charged with voluntary homicide.<br /><br />The footage was filmed in the early hours of Friday.
