Unknown attackers have shot and seriously wounded two Greek policemen in central Athens police are saying.
Police have been targeted by left-wing groups since the fatal police shooting of a teenager in December sparked Greece's worst riots in decades, shaking the conservative government.
"Unknown assailants shot and seriously wounded two policemen," a police statement said.
A police official, who declined to be named, said it was not clear whether the shooting was politically motivated.
In January, gunmen shot and seriously wounded a policeman guarding the Culture Ministry in central Athens, weeks after the killing of 15-year-old Alexandros Grigoropoulos.
Greece's most militant guerrilla group, The Revolutionary Struggle, claimed responsibility for the attack.
Last month, a bomb exploded outside the building of an agency managing state property, near the capital's central police headquarters.
Greece's conservative government, clinging to a one-seat parliamentary majority, has asked British police for help in investigating a wave of attacks against police, banks and businesses.
