Police in northeastern Athens are investigating a shooting incident and the ramming of a patrol car.
The incident began shortly before midnight on Holy Thursday in the Ano Liosia district, at the junction of Fylis and Vlastou streets, when the driver of a silver SUV fired three shots at a black SUV with two occupants.
When a police patrol car arrived at the scene, the driver of the black vehicle attempted to escape and crashed into the patrol car.
When police located the vehicle a short distance away, its two occupants had fled.
Police believe they have identified the man who opened fire and have launched a manhunt.
