Refugee injury at Idomeni causes tension with police

A seriously injured refugee was rushed to a Kilkis hospital from the camp at Idomeni, on the border between Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, on Monday.

Police said the cause of his injuries is still unknown.
The incident sparked tension in the camp, where residents attacked a police van that they considered was somehow involved, throwing stones and causing damage to the vehicle. Greek police had earlier made an unsuccessful attempt to persuade refugees and migrants to clear the railway tracks that traverses the border into FYROM, which was only briefly cleared before tents reappeared on the track.
