World Cup celebrations in France descended into violence as riots broke out across the city following their 4-2 victory over Croatia.

In Paris' Champs Elysees, out-of-control fans flipped over a car, hitting it on the ground and jumping on it. In the video, the trunk cover is seen to be broken off from the impact, and then thrown against the car.

Nearby, a drugstore was looted by about 30 people wearing ski masks, who later left with bottles of wine and champagne. Violence was also reported in Lyon and Marseille, prompting police to fire tear gas to disperse crowds.

France beat Croatia in the final match 4-2 earlier in the day, giving the country its second World Cup win and sparking nationwide celebrations.
