SYRIZA MP Gerovasili’s car damaged with sledgehammers; police escort injured

A group of unknown assailants involved in incidents during the protest rallies in Athens vandalized the car of SYRIZA representative Olga Gerovasili on Thursday. 

The attackers used sledgehammers on her service car at the corner of Akadimias and Voukourestiou streets, breaking its windows while the former minister was engaged in a protest march advocating for public transportation safety following the deadly Tempe train collision on February 28. 

According to reports, her police escort was hit in the face and transported to the Parliament's clinic for treatment.
