ATHENS, Greece, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Greek police clashed with thousands of youths who marched in Athens Monday, the second anniversary of a teenager's killing by police.
Police fired tear gas and percussion charges as some protesters among 500 outside parliament threw projectiles at riot officers, Euronews reported.
Police said the demonstrators, their faces covered with hoods, also hurled gasoline bombs and threw red paint at the Bank of Greece building.
Streets in central Athens were shut down, and many shops were boarded up in advance.
Two policemen were convicted earlier this year of murdering Alexis Grigoropoulos, 15, in 2008. His death triggered violence that paralyzed the Greek capital for weeks.
At the spot where he died, many gathered and stood in silent remembrance Monday.
