Swiss authorities arrested seven individuals following renewed clashes last night in the Prélaz district of Lausanne. The violence erupted after a teenager died while fleeing the police on a motorcycle early Sunday morning. After initial clashes on Sunday evening, the situation deteriorated again before 10 PM on Monday. Protesters attacked the police, who responded with tear gas and water cannons. Between 150 and 200 people, some masked, set up roadblocks using burning containers and trash bins. Around 10:50 PM in the Poveresse/Prélaz-Séchaud district, youths set fire to containers and severely damaged a Lausanne transport company bus. The situation quickly returned to normal in the area according to a statement from the Vaud canton police early Tuesday morning. The police statement added that officers had to use force, including rubber bullets and 54 tear gas grenades, to face the rioters who were more prepared and determined than the previous day.

A canton police fire truck was deployed to spray water and disperse protesters. Calm returned shortly after midnight. Police patrols at the scene were subjected to stone throwing, construction barriers, projectiles, Molotov cocktails, and fireworks. Seven people were arrested. So far, no injuries have been reported among police or protesters. Firefighters, under police protection, extinguished around ten fires at various locations. Riot police will file a criminal complaint regarding property damage. Police and authorities called again for calm.
