Police in Thessaloniki detained eighteen people and made one arrest following clashes that broke out shortly after midnight, after a concert by Greek rapper Lex.

The unrest began when a group of individuals attacked police forces stationed outside the Turkish Consulate in the northern Greek city.

According to authorities, one of the eighteen detainees was arrested on drug-related charges.

During the incidents, six cars sustained damage – two of them completely burned – along with a garbage bin.
