The incidents that occurred at the ISAP station "Monastiraki" at approximately 8 pm on Wednesday were serious as, as can be seen in videos posted on social media, far-right and anti-authoritarians who arrived there after the gatherings and counter-gatherings for the 10 years since murder of the Golden Dawn members in Neo Heraklion, they fought almost hand-to-hand.

The clashes took place while in the ISAP train there were unsuspecting citizens who had boarded the wagons without being able to imagine that they would be in the middle of crossfires.
As it turns out, the "battle" continued for several minutes before there was finally the intervention of the police who "restricted" the incidents, as stated in the official statement of ELAS on the account of what happened on Wednesday night in Neo Heraklion and the center of Athens.
Tragic. You come back from work, the train stops in Monastiraki and this happens. At 20:00! Mere people try to protect themselves, outside and inside the wires of chaos from the endless wood. Image of sadness that proves that much needs to be done. #Monastiraki pic.twitter.com/cnr6GW8ypm

In one of the videos, in fact, a helmet-wearer from the far-right group who was at the ISAP dock is seen throwing some liquid from a barrel with someone else shouting at him "burners, burners".
