Greek gigs end in violence

Two Athens concerts came to a nasty end at the weekend. Crowds leaving a gig in the Gaki area attacked a plainclothes policeman outside a tube station, while the Ejekt festival collapsed into riot after a gang gatecrashed the venue.

After hospital treatment, Smith returned to the UK.
