Unbothered bloke chomps on sandwich as people riot and set fires around him

If 'minding your business' was a person, it would be this man who was spotted eating his lunch as riots broke out in Nanterre, France.

In the bizarre video, which has begun circulating on social media users, a man can be seen having his lunch as police were clashing with rioters all around him.

The clip, which is believed to have been filmed in a Parisian suburb, shows two police officers using massive white parasols to shield their colleagues from items being hurled at them by the protesters.

The rioters, wearing dark colours, are filmed grouped together near a residential building, with a fire burning just metres away.

But in the middle of all the chaos, the undeterred man seemed to only care about his lunch.

Twitter users have since responded to the viral clip, claiming the bloke was brave for being able to ignore his surroundings.

One user wrote: "Normal summer activity in France: a person casually eating his sandwich in the midst of anti-police riots."

Another added: "This is another level type of bravery."

A third commented: "A man needs his sandwich!"

"The Frenchest thing you'll see today," a fourth said.

It comes as French authorities mobilised tens of thousands of police officers Thursday (June 29) after widespread rioting broke out following the deadly police shooting of a 17-year-old, called Nahel.

Police initially suggested the teenager drove his car towards them with the intention of hurting them, local media wrote, but footage shared online and verified by the AFP news agency appears to show an officer pointing his weapon at the driver through the car window and firing at point-blank range as the person behind the wheel seemingly tries to drive off.

The officer who allegedly shot the gun, who had said to have opened fire because he felt his and his colleague's lives were in danger, is in custody on charges of voluntary manslaughter.
