Armed boy aged eight injures French police in Nantes 

French police were amazed that the little boy managed to overpower two officers 

Two French police officers needed medical attention after being attacked by an eight-year-old boy armed with a hammer and a tear gas canister [...] A Nantes police spokesman said the boy "was highly aggressive and took our officers completely by surprise. "We have no idea where he got the tear gas bomb from, but both men needed hospital treatment for serious irritation of their eyes and bruises from hammer blows. The boy will be reported to social services but at the age of eight he is too young to be prosecuted".
