Greek police said an officer was seriously injured in the head as clashes broke out Tuesday evening at a protest of some 5,000 people in Athens against police violence. The demonstration follows an uproar over viral video footage showing an officer beating a man with a baton during a patrol to check that people were following Covid-19 restrictions on Sunday. An AFP journalist at the scene of Tuesday's protest said demonstrators threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at a police station and police responded with tear gas. mr-kan-chv/kjl/pvh
