Two police officers were injured in the violence.
The group of anarchists gathered in the central Athens neighbourhood of Exarcheia, near the ancient Acropolis, to protest the alleged torture of a protester by police.
The incident reportedly took place on September 16 when the 16-year-old protestor was arrested after an ‘anti-fascism protest’ in the city.
He was reportedly beaten and tortured by riot cops and ended up in intensive care in Attica General Hospital in the city.
Marching towards the police headquarters, the group waved banners and chanted slogans.

They claim the torture took place within the building.
As the protest grew closer to the police station, officers lined the streets with riot helmets and shields.
While the protest was initially peaceful, as night fell it turned violent with the youths, wearing face coverings, pelting police officers with petrol bombs and stones.
They made blockades out bins and skips which they set on fire.
Shocking footage shows small fires blazing in the streets as officers try to retain control.
Local media reports that two officers were injured and one person was arrested.
