The Greek police suffered another attack Friday night, luckily with no victims this time. A police bus with the night shift guarding the old office of the opposing political party PASOK arrived at the building on “Harilau Trikupi” street at Athens downtown. Right after the bus stopped to let the policemen out, a man wearing shorts and a mouth and chin mask started shooing at the bus with a gun. The bullets got into the vehicle’s bullet-proof windows.
The policeman went after the shooter, who fired his gun again, this time in the air, apparently meaning to scare his chasers away. The man managed to escape and hide in the neighborhood of Exarhia. During the chase the man dropped his mask which is now being examined at the police laboratories.
“Harilau Trikupi” street remained closed for the night. The experts from the Anti-terrorist Office are at the location and working on the case.
