The hooded attackers appeared to move as a group, smashing windows with objects, shouting slogans, and fleeing in an unknown direction. Immediate Action units and motorcycle police rushed to the scene and surrounding area, making a total of four arrests. Authorities are investigating the case, while security personnel will examine video footage from the area during the day to identify and locate the perpetrators.
It should be noted that tensions have been high in recent days, with Greek Police announcing a ban on gatherings as messages from ideologically opposing groups and collectives had signaled potential tensions and clashes due to the anniversary of the Imia crisis.
