Greek firefighters scuffle with police in front of parliament
Greek firefighters protesting against job and wage cuts outside parliament in Athens clashed with riot police who were tasked with clearing the protesters from the street where they were blocking traffic. Skirmishes broke out between the two groups, with pushing, shoving and kicking. One firefighter sprayed the riot police with a fire extinguisher, while police fired tear gas at the firefighters in an effort to disperse them.
