SHOCKING videos show Athens engulfed in flames as a Molotov-wielding mob turned it into a warzone overnight, torching cars and clashing violently with riot police.
Street battles broke out just after midnight on Saturday as a group of around 50 people hurled petrol bombs, stones and fireworks at officers outside a police station in Exarchia.
Cops responded with tear gas and flash grenades, but the violence spiralled out of control, with fires raging across Kallidromiou, Benaki, Charilaou Trikoupi and Methonis streets.
Dramatic footage shows cars exploding in fireballs as thick black smoke choked the sky.
Flames licked balconies of nearby apartment blocks, as stunned residents watched the chaos unfold from windows and doorways.
