A Malaysian student in France described taking refuge inside a bakery as rioting broke out near her in Le Havre, a port city in Normandy. She said the disturbances forced her to hide after she became trapped close to the clashes. For a time, the student remained sheltered in the bakery while the unrest continued outside. The frightening episode took place on Saturday and offers a close-up view of the disruption surrounding the riot. Her account focuses on the immediate danger faced by bystanders rather than the causes of the violence. It illustrates how a confrontation in one part of a city can abruptly affect people going about ordinary business.
