One officer injured in car accident

Newsroom October 19 02:14

Gun shots were fired in downtown Athens on Monday afternoon, resulting in a reported injury of a police officer.

According to initial reports, the incident took place between Roma and immigrants who were in cars at the junction of Agiou Meletiou and Konstantinoupoleos streets.

A passerby has reportedly been injured and was transported to the “Red Cross” hospital.

A patrol car pursuing the suspects’ vehicle bumped into the car on Kifissos Avenue, as a result of which a large traffic jam was caused and four men of the DIAS motorcycle team unit were also slightly injured and all transferred to the military hospital.
