Amaliada teacher attacked and nearly struck by car

A teacher, Olga Anagnostopoulou, has reported being attacked and facing an attempted vehicular assault in Amaliada, Greece. The incident occurred at Agios Athanasios Square when Anagnostopoulou intervened to protect a young woman from a man who was reportedly pushing her repeatedly.

According to the victim, the man first pushed her with both hands, causing her to fall and sustain a hand injury. Shortly after, as she walked toward her parked car, the man allegedly drove a red vehicle onto the sidewalk toward her at high speed, forcing her to seek shelter behind two columns to avoid being struck. One report notes the vehicle did not have license plates.

Authorities have arrested a 35-year-old man in connection with the incident. The case is being handled by the Domestic Violence Department in Pyrgos. The victim was treated at Pyrgos Hospital for her injuries.
