Police were hurt by shots and baseball-bat-wielding youths as rioting raged on for its eleventh night in France despite a vow from President Jacques Chirac that public order would be restored.
Thirty riot squad officers were hit by buckshot fired at them in suburbs south of Paris, police said. Two were hospitalised with serious wounds, and were visited late Sunday by Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy.
Elsewhere, officers were targeted by gangs roaming low-income neighbourhoods on the outskirts of major cities and setting fire to scores of vehicles and properties.
The violence -- the worst the country has seen since 1968 student revolts -- continued despite increasingly tough reactions from police, who have arrested more than 800 people since the troubles began.
In all, police said at midnight (2300 GMT Sunday), 34 police officers had been lightly wounded during the first part of the night while 528 vehicles had been torched, the majority outside the Paris region, and 95 people arrested.
Chirac said "the absolute priority is restoring security and public order," after chairing an emergency meeting with key ministers Sunday evening.
"Those who want to sow violence of fear, they will be arrested, judged and punished," he promised, adding that "certain decisions" had been taken to boost the police and court decisions during the crisis.
In the western city of Rouen, a car was used as a battering ram against a police station, while in Toulouse, in the south, police had to fire tear gas grenades to push back a mob carrying baseball bats and throwing stones and bottles.
"These individuals seem to be looking for contact with police, and they are attacking us, unlike during the other nights," a senior officer told AFP.
Arsonists also set fire to cars and trash cans in the cities of Nantes, Orleans and Rennes.
The new edge to the violence confirmed the riots were worsening, adding to a weekend that took the unrest to new heights with hundreds of vehicles burnt and up to 200 localities affected.
So far, more than 3,500 vehicles have been torched, including, overnight Sunday, eight trucks parked near the town of Roanne. Schools and businesses were also set alight in various places around the country.
Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin, who attended the emergency meeting with Interior Minister Sarkozy and the ministers for defence, justice, the economy and education, said more police would be deployed wherever required.
There will be "a reinforcement of security forces anywhere in the country if it is necessary," he said.
"We will not accept any lawless zone."
The extent of the unrest was brought home overnight Saturday, when 51 cars were petrol-bombed in the heart of Paris -- the first time the centre of the capital suffered significant attacks.
A police chief, Frederic Aureal, said his officers were encountering an unprecedented hostility from gangs, which he described as "prepared, structured, armed".
"We have come face-to-face with people who have attacked us with picks, petanque balls, many Molotov cocktails," he said.
Police overnight Saturday discovered a petrol-bomb factory south of the capital with 50 bottles ready for use. Ski masks were also found.
Police helicopters fitted with cameras and searchlights were being used to pursue youths who were starting fires then racing away on scooters.
Officers were also breaking down doors in public housing estates to get offenders.
So far, no one has been killed in the unrest, which was sparked October 27 by the electrocution deaths of two teenagers who hid in an electrical sub-station in northeastern Paris to escape a police identity check.
But some of the injuries have been serious. At least two people have been badly burnt by Molotov cocktails: a fireman who had his face disfigured, and a handicapped woman doused with fuel on an ambushed bus.
A 61-year-old was also in a coma after being hit by an assailant in a public housing estate, and a South Korean female TV reporter was kicked unconscious by assailants in a northern suburb on Saturday.
Youths, in interviews, have boasted that they were intensifying the violence because of a sort of "competition" between gangs from different suburbs to get media attention.
They have also expressed anger at Sarkozy, who described delinquents in the suburbs as "rabble" and vowed to clean up crime in the neighbourhoods "with a power-hose."
The United States, Britain, Canada and Russia have all warned their citizens against travelling through some of the worst-hit areas of France.
