Images of destruction were left behind by the incidents between Roma and MAT that broke out in the “Agia Sophia” settlement in Diavata, western Thessaloniki, which continue until this hour.
The incidents broke out on Pontou Street, near the gas station from where the pursuit began, which ended in the serious injury of the 16-year-old by a police officer.
The 100 or so Roma are burning buckets and constantly throwing stones, while shouting slogans “Here, it will be your grave”. Police forces respond with extensive use of chemicals.
The gathered took out rifles and shot in the air, lit fires on Pontou Street, set up barricades, and also burned a large amount of plastic and two excavator vehicles.

According to grtimes, at the moment there are large police forces at the scene, while the Fire Department has also intervened in order to put out the fires that have ignited.
Crowds of people still remain at the scene, but the situation appears to have calmed down.
