Police in Athens arrested nine boys aged between 14 and 16 years old in connection with a brawl in an affluent northern suburb on Sunday night.
The police said on Tuesday that the brawl was an arranged street fight between rival “gangs” from different suburbs of western Attica and Kifissia, where the altercation took place. It resulted in two 15-year-olds having to be rushed to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The suspects were arrested in Kifissia on Monday morning on an emergency warrant. Police seized six bats during searches of the suspects’ homes and have sent them for forensic analysis to ascertain whether they were used in the brawl.
