Shocking, but also revealing are the videos from the attack against the police officer which leaked on the internet. Apparently, a group of police officers with motorcycles crossed the street in order to disperse the crowd. There, however, one of the hooded men, who was at a distance, but with his back to the police, ran towards the last motorcycle and with quick movements threw down the 27-year-old policeman, named Angelos, who is originally from Serres.

The entire timeline of the attack is captured in the following video, from 2:25 to 4:55:
