A pair of cops can be seen attempting to apprehend a confrontational male when another man intervenes and punches a female officer in the face.
The female agent fights back and discharges a canister of defensive spray as chaos breaks out on the street.
The original suspect manages to break away and flees the scene on foot.
After reinforcements arrived, three suspects were arrested and taken to the police station.
They were all identified as foreigners present in France "without papers."
The female officer suffered injuries to her face and head.
“Wearing the uniform no longer inspires respect, it's even quite the opposite," Matthieu Valet, spokesman for the Independent Union of Commissioners, said in a statement.
"Today we face thugs who no longer have any limits. Most of the time they are individuals who we know very well for having arrested them countless times and who do not care about authority."
Bravo aux #policiers de la BAC et la brigade spécialisée de terrain de St-Ouen (93), qui ont interpellé 3 individus dont l'auteur présumé des coups sur la #Policière qui a 3 jours d'ITT.

Military leaders fired off multiple incendiary letters last year, warning the Macron government of looming "civil war" if strong measures are not taken to regain control of a society spiraling into chaos.
