LUASANNE, SWITZERLAND - Dramatic riots have erupted in a Swiss city after a migrant teen was killed in a scooter crash while fleeing the police.
Riot cops clashed with protesters who hurled Molotov cocktails in Lausanne as officials desperately tried to put a lid on escalating violence.
The unrest comes with the Olympic capital's police in the spotlight after four officers were suspended Monday following the unearthing of racist, sexist and discriminatory messages in private WhatsApp groups.
Marvin M, a 17-year-old Swiss resident of Lausanne, was fleeing police on a stolen scooter, when he hit a garage wall and died at around 3.45am Sunday, despite resuscitation attempts by emergency services.
