Police in Greece have arrested an 89-year-old man following a double shooting which left five people injured.

The attacker initially opened fire at a social security agency in the Kerameikos area of Athens on Tuesday, wounding an employee in the leg, police say.

He then travelled to a courthouse around 5km (3.1 miles) away in Ambelokipi, where a further four people were reportedly injured, before fleeing the scene and leaving behind a shotgun, authorities add.

There is a heavy police presence at both locations and the motive for the shooting is not yet clear.

The man was arrested in the city of Patra, some 200km from the capital.
