The violence erupted on Lavriou Avenue, where locals have set up a roadblock, and spread to the local police station, which was besieged by protestors.
Riot police
used teargas to disperse the protestors, while homemade firebombs and rocks were thrown against police at both sites.
Extensive damage was caused to six patrol cars and to a lesser degree to the Keratea police station late at night by persons wearing masks.
According to police, a handful of individuals with their faces covered attacked the police station at around 2:00 a.m., throwing home-made bombs (molotov cocktails), rocks and other projectiles.
Calm was restored about half an hour later.
