Greek police fired tear gas to disperse dozens of Golden Dawn supporters protesting outside an Athens court where the neo-Nazi party's leader was appearing on Friday.
Chanting "Fatherland, honour, Golden Dawn," the crowd attacked police and photojournalists outside the Supreme Court, an AFP journalist said.
Three photojournalists were hit by Golden Dawn supporters whilst trying to take pictures of the scuffle with police.
The Greek federation of journalists (Poesy) criticised the police for failing to protect media on the scene.
Golden Dawn spokesman Ilias Kasidiaris had also struck reporters last year, moments after being conditionally released by magistrates on criminal charges.
Golden Dawn leader Nikolaos Michaloliakos, his deputy MP Christos Pappas, and another member, Yannis Lagos, had been transferred to the court from Korydallos prison to answer weapons charges, according to a judicial source.
Eight members of parliament and ex-MPs from the party are currently in custody awaiting trial, while a number of others have been released on bail.
But in 2012, it won 18 seats in parliament, tapping into widespread anger over immigration and austerity reforms in the debt-ridden country.
