The description is shocking… “The cops will die! The cops will die!” They yelled. We went to have a coffee and were beaten … A colleague received a knife in the thigh (as shown in the photos provided by protothema.gr) while another was taken to the hospital after being hit on the head with a bottle, “he says the policeman while President Demosthenes Pakos, a member of the Athens Police Officers Union, serving in MAT, states: “As far as I know, my colleagues were saved from the attack due to their training and composure.
They contacted the local police forces who did their job perfectly and managed to arrest the perpetrators. “These are hooligans who have nothing to do with the neighbors who hugged the police.” According to the policeman’s testimony, “The platoon arrived at Kastanies de Evros from Athens and as we had a break, seven policemen went out for coffee in the central square of Orestiada.
When the cafeteria closed at midnight due to crown measurements, we were sitting in the plaza and around two o’clock the service bus came to pick us up to take us to the hotel. We were approaching the cage when a group of about ten people sitting in the square, realized that we were policemen, approached us and started yelling and cursing. They had wild moods. We tried to calm them down and not follow up on the incident and then one of them ran up to a colleague and hit him. At the same time, about 80 people gathered in the square, one of them surrounded us who apparently knew how to handle a knife well, attacked a colleague and tried to stab him in the side below the heart.
The colleague reacted and hit him on the thigh. And all this at the same time as the angry crowd shouted “The cops will die!” The cops will die! “and they threw bottles resulting in a colleague being injured in the head and taken to the hospital. We managed to make two arrests as they forced us to use chemicals while in our department they showed photos of suspects and five more people were arrested.”
