Athens police say they have detained six persons after they were attacked with rocks and firebombs in central Athens early Sunday.

The incident took place around 3:30 a.m. when police investigated a report of young people damaging city property near Akadimias St.

A group of young people got out of the Athens University's Law School and attacked the police.

Greece's universities are increasingly coming into the grips of lawlessness, as evidenced by a spike in attacks on students and staff.  

The assaults, most of which go unreported, are apparently ideologically motivated and carried out by individuals who have no affiliation to the institutions - often self-styled anarchists occupying parts of campuses.
