Rioters attacked police stations throughout Athens on Thursday as sporadic violence continued for a sixth day after the fatal shooting of a teenager by police.
Athens News Agency reported that protestors threw stones, overturned police vehicles and smashed windows, causing damages to at least six precincts.
Earlier on Thursday, protestors clashed with riot police outside the Korydallos prison where the two officers charged with the shooting death of 15-year-old Alexis Grigoropoulos were due to be transferred pending trial.
Meanwhile, authorities have charged three local residents and two foreign nationals with participating in the violence in central Athens. They were remanded in custody pending trial.
The death of the 15-year-old boy last Saturday triggered severe riots that have lasted for six days. Reuters said that the unrest is Greece's worst since the aftermath of its 1967-1974 military rule.
