At least 278 people have been detained ahead of Saturday’s Yellow Vest rallies in Paris, police say, AFP reported. It comes a day after authorities warned about “radicals” trying to exploit the movement and topple the government.

The nation is preparing for a new wave of mass protests that are gripping France for the fourth consecutive weekend. Some 89,000 officers are patrolling the streets across the country. Armored vehicles belonging to military police were also deployed to the heart of the French capital.

Ahead of the major protests, the police prefecture announced that at least 278 people were detained in the city. Authorities did not elaborate on the exact reasons for the detentions.
