Amid the thousands who defied a ban on protests in Athens to demonstrate against Angela Merkel’s visit, a minority clashed with police.

Some found that provoking the police was not a good idea. A woman who approached a line of riot officers and threw paint at their shields was promptly set upon.
Dozens of people were arrested as police fired tear gas and stun grenades at stone-throwing protesters.
