Pepper spray fired at Greek retirees in anti-austerity rally
ATHENS, Greece - Greek police have fired pepper spray at retirees taking part in an anti-austerity protest against pension cuts in central Athens near the prime minister's office.
About 1,000 people, some of them with canes, took part in Monday's protest. Dozens of protesters at the front of the rally tried to break through a police cordon and chanted "Shame on you, shame on you!"
The protesters were trying to tip over a riot police bus when officers fired the pepper spray.
