GLOVE FOR SALE…

Horror as protester picks up police grenade and hand is blown off

-

BLOODY MESS: Protester stares at mangled hand OH LA LA! Horror wound is clear for all to see THIS is the bloody truth of the French government’s ruthless suppressio­n of angry mass protests against autocratic President Emmanuel Macron.

A yellow vest activist’s hand was blown to a bloody PULP by a stun grenade as protesters tried to storm the French National Assembly in the 13th consecutiv­e Saturday of violent clashes in the capital.

The injured man lost four fingers – and shocking footage shows fellow protesters and paramedics gathering around the man.

The graphic images – which Sunday Sport is only publishing after much soul- searching – are the most shocking yet from France’s ongoing Gilets Jaunes protests.

As scuffles broke out, paramedics treated the injured protester by the National Assembly gates before he was taken to PARIS MAYHEM: Yellow vest protesters vent their anger hospital, where his current condition is still unknown.

Police carrying rubber bullets used batons and fired tear gas in Paris to disperse debris- throwing demonstrat­ors.

The yellow vest movement started as an outcry about planned fuel hikes but has morphed into protests against President Macron’s policies.

An onlooker said: “Well, look on this bright side. This guy will only have to spend half as much on gloves, going forward.” TENDER CARE: Medics get to work on injury
