"Protesters" (parastatal known unknowns) throw PETROL BOMBS and tear gas as Greek police at train crash rally

Clashes broke out in Athens on Sunday (March 5) between police and a group of demonstrators over a train crash in Greece earlier this week that killed at least 57 people.

University students and railway workers protested on Syntagma Square in central Athens, over the accident, the deadliest in Greece's living memory.

Video shows demonstrators hurling objects including petrol bombs at riot police, as authorities moved in to contain the unrest, and police responded with volleys of tear gas.

Clashes also broke out on Friday between police and demonstrators.
