Masked attackers injure three at Athens university student meeting
Greek police investigate an attack on a student assembly after university officials and the education ministry condemned the violence.
Masked attackers forced their way into a student assembly at an Athens university campus and injured three people, according to Kathimerini and The Independent.
The attackers confronted people attending a university meeting. Greek media reported that those injured included a student with a leg injury and another who received treatment for burns.
The university administration and Greece's Education Ministry condemned the attack. Police opened an investigation to identify the individuals involved and establish their motives.
Initial accounts referred to weapons and incendiary material, but not all descriptions were independently reconciled. The university's response did not announce a final list of suspects or criminal charges.
The attack disrupted normal campus activity and raised safety concerns for students and staff. The injury count concerns the assembly incident alone, not separate unrest in Patras.
