A famous Paris hospital is lodging a legal complaint after dozens of May Day protesters broke in and nearly burst into an intensive care unit.

La Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital director Marie-Anne Ruder said some protesters wore masks and some were gilets jaunes ("yellow-vest") activists.

Traditionally a union-led day of action in France, the 1 May event was marked by the presence of "black block" and yellow-vest activists. Some smashed shop windows and threw projectiles at the more than 7,000 officers deployed in Paris.

Ms Ruder said the hospital staff were "deeply shocked that the hospital could have been targeted".

In the Paris streets, police used tear gas and water cannon against protesters and arrested 380 people.

About 38 people were wounded, including 14 officers - one of whom was hit in the head with a paving stone.
