Acid attack demo ends in clashes

Fighting erupted on the streets of Athens tonight after a march to show solidarity with a trades unionist critically injured in an acid attack.
Demonstrators fought with riot police near Omonia Square and then some anarchists smashed up banks and restaurants in a popular entertainment district.
Our Athens correspondent Malcolm Brabant watched the clashes begin.
