A group of approximately 1,000 people clashed with riot police outside the headquarters of Hellenic Train in Athens on Wednesday evening.
They were protesting in relation to the tragic train accident at Tempi.
They also marched to Syntagma Square from Hellenic Train's offices on Sigrou Avenue, after smashing some of the company's front windows there. At Syntagma Square, protesters clashed with police a second time. Tear gas was used by police against protesters.
Traffic in central Athens was later restored.
