ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek police officer was hurt on Tuesday after clashes broke out during a demonstration in an Athens suburb against police violence, prompted by a video that appeared to show a man being beaten on Sunday by officers in the area.
More than 5,000 people marched through the densely populated residential area of Nea Smyrni. Some banners read "Cops out of our neighbourhoods".
