Car Hits, Injures Officer at French Presidential Palace
Police said Thursday that a car ran into a policewoman guarding the French presidential palace, slightly injuring her, as the country is on high alert after the worst terrorist attacks in decades.
The Paris prosecutor's office said the incident at the Elysee Palace early Thursday had no link to last week's attacks.
A police official said the driver took a one-way street in the wrong direction then drove off when the guard tried to stop them. The officer had slight leg injuries, the official said.
The official said two people were later arrested, and two others in the car fled.
