Greek police say they are unable to find the far-right politician who assaulted two female left-wing politicians on a live TV talk show.

“We don’t know his whereabouts,” said a police source.

Ilias Kasidiaris was unrepentant for the on-screen attack. He is the official spokesman of the neo-fascist Golden Dawn party and continued to remain in hiding hours before he was due to appear in court today on complicity charges in an unrelated attack on a student five years ago.

Kasidiaris assaulted Liana Kanelli, spokeswoman of the KKE communist party, and Rena Dourou of the Syriza party during the show.
