A tension emerged early in the morning between Syrian and Afghans refugees who are staying at the passenger terminals of Piraeus port for unknown reasons.

While the refugees and immigrants were having some fun playing percussion instruments and dancing, some of them started fighting.

The incidents lasted about ten minutes, with tents being overturned and other refugees moving away their tents fearing of an escalation of the fight.

Port authorities did not intervene, since Syrians and Afghans managed to calm down the people involved in the fight.
