Man who defended Syrian woman killed by Afghan refugees in Greece

A Syrian man was brutally killed by a group of Afghan refugees during a mass brawl north of the Greek capital.

Maher al-Hammad, was stabbed in the mouth by a huge knife while defending a Syrian woman who had been attacked by an Afghan at the refugee camp north of Athens.

The victim, 31 years old and a father of five, was savagely attacked by a group of Afghan refugees with only a few Iraqis attempted to defend him.

The story began when an Afghani refugee allowed his dog into a tent occupied by a Syrian family. 

The woman attempted to drive out the animal; whose owner felt insulted; thus assaulting the woman.

The refugee camp north of the Greek capital hosts up to 500 Afghans and less than 70 Arabs; making the entire area under their full control.
