ATHENS (Reuters) - A Greek police officer was hurt on Tuesday after clashes broke out during a demonstration against police brutality in an Athens suburb, prompted by a video that appeared to show a man being beaten on Sunday by officers in the area.

More than 5,000 people marched through the densely populated area of Nea Smyrni. Police fired tear gas to disperse a group of protesters who broke away from the march and hurled petrol bombs at them, setting garbage containers alight.
