THREE OFFICERS HAVE BEEN INJURED IN CLASHES OF A PROTEST IN ATHENS ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITY

Reports from Greece say three officers have been injured in clashes of a protest in Athens about police brutality.

Police confirmed that one of the officers was seriously injured.

Some five thousand took to the streets of Athens yesterday evening in response to a video that appeared to show a man being beaten on Sunday in the Nen Smymi district.

However Greek Prime Minister, Kyriakas Mitsotakis has condemned the violence. Protesters gathered in Nen Smymi, the residential area where the video was filmed carrying banners reading ‘cops out of our neighbourhood’.
