ATHENS (Reuters) - Clashes broke out on Sunday between asylum-seekers and groups of locals on Lesbos, police said, in one of the most serious bouts of violence on the Greek island in months.

The asylum-seekers were demonstrating against conditions in the island's camp and delays in asylum applications.
