A 41-year-old was arrested in Agrinio, central Greece, on Tuesday for the attempted murder of his 61-year-old mother.

According to police, the man doused his mother with petrol and tried to set her on fire after an altercation at her house.

The woman was saved by neighbors who heard her cries for help and alerted police.

A 14-year-old boy had to have two of his fingers partially amputated after he was injured by a firework over the Easter holiday at his home in Neapoli, near the western city of Agrinio, police said Tuesday.

The boy sustained the injury while handling a homemade firework in the yard of his home.
