ATHENS, 5.1.2011 23:35, (Winnipeg Free Press)
Dozens of youths in a Gypsy area outside Athens clashed with police Wednesday after a 6-year-old girl was accidentally killed by a police motorcycle.
The youths hurled rocks and flares at riot police and set fire to trash bins, and police responded with tear gas.
State health officials say the girl died in a hospital Wednesday after the accident in the Menidi area, north of the capital.
Police said a 22-year-old police office was arrested in connection with the girl's death but had not yet been charged.
