Clashes also broke out on Thursday evening near the Roma settlements near Athens, which is the third night since the police seriously wounded a Roma boy with firearms in northern Greece, and the Government is calling for calm in vain.
The authorities ordered the closure of streets and roads after youths from the neighborhood set fire to tires and garbage containers. Earlier, police raided several neighborhoods in the area and arrested seven people for drug possession, while four people were detained for questioning, authorities said.
Violence erupted after a 16-year-old boy was shot in the head during a police chase in Thessaloniki on Monday because he allegedly left a gas station in a pickup truck without paying a 20-euro bill.
A 34-year-old police officer who allegedly fired a shot during the pursuit has been suspended and is scheduled to appear in court Friday for a hearing on charges of felony attempted manslaughter with possible intent and misdemeanor unlawful use of a weapon.
On Friday, new protests took place in front of the courthouse in Thessaloniki, where the arrested policeman was brought.
