France protests: Hundreds arrested as Macron appeals for calm; Mbappe reacts

<p>As France saw a third consecutive night of riots on Thursday due to a mounting crisis caused by the fatal shooting of a teenager of Algerian-Moroccan descent by police, videos on social media showed multiple fires and arsons on French streets.</p>

<p>But in the moments of deadly violence, a scene of peace amid chaos was captured which quickly went viral on social media. In a video said to be of Nanterre, the working class French suburb where the teenager, identified as Nahel was shot at, a man can be seen silently eating his sandwich as police clashed with violent protesters.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The social media was quick to hail the man as 'legend', and that 'this is another type of bravery'.</p>

<p>"Nothing gets in the way of sandwich time," wrote a social media user.</p>

<p>"I&nbsp;pray to be as unbothered in this life," another wrote. "True definition of unbothered," a third social media user wrote.</p>
