Man threatens to throw BABY at police as refugees and authorities clash in Greece The shocking video was filmed in Port of Piraeus, where refugees have been demonstrating against plans to bus them out to other areas of the country A tiny baby is held aloft as a man threatens to throw the child at police during ugly clashes between migrants and officers in Greece. Tempers flared after refugees in Port of Piraeus were told they were being moved north to a purpose built camp near the capital of Athens. Shocking video shows dozens of migrants crowding around a small group of officials who are dragging a man away. Suddenly a man in a green shirt appears holding a newborn baby over his head and angrily confronts authorities. The child is held by the neck and legs and is roughly shaken as a series of people try to snatch the baby back off the man. According to various reports, including Ekathimerini.com , the man threatened to throw the child at a Greek coast after they stopped him from smashing up a car. Eventually the baby is taken off the man and can be seen being shepherded out of the throng in the arms of a man in a pink shirt. The man who had threatened to throw the baby is seem being held back by several people. The port has become an open-air home to thousands of stranded migrants in recent months after neighbouring countries closed their borders. Greece this week began bussing the refugees to other locations around the country, a move which has further increased tensions between migrants and authorities. Many are reluctant to leave the port fearing they will be relocated far away from national borders, in the event they are reopened. Hundreds of migrants have staged sit-ins in protest at the relocation scheme. A man has appeared to threaten to throw a baby at police amid protests at the proposed removal of migrants and refugees from a Greek port. The man is seen brandishing the baby in the air after walking towards officers, who were holding another man. Another man later took the child from him and handed her back to her mother. The upsetting scene came amid increasing frustration over the fate of refugees and migrants in Greece. Thousands of people have been camping out at Greece's main port of Piraeus after reports that authorities want to move them to refugee camps. Greek General Secretary for Migration Policy, Vassilis Papadopoulos, faced heated protests when he visited the port. Greek authorities have been trying to persuade more than 4,700 people camping in small tents in the port to move to organised camps, but few have been boarding the buses provided. Greece began returning people to Turkey on Monday as part of an EU agreement to control the mass influx of people in Europe. However, the return of further refugees has now been delayed until Friday, according to a Turkish official.
