ATHENS, Greece — Rioting youths in the Greek capital attacked a police station, stores and banks, and fought running battles with police late Saturday, authorities said, as violent protests against a police killing continued for the eighth straight day.

The clashes broke out as candlelight vigils were being held to mark a week since the police shooting of a 15-year- old boy, which triggered the riots that are threatening the stability of the government.

At 1 a.m. local time, police charged a peaceful vigil in central Athens’ Syntagma Square where a crowd of several hundred people had refused to back off its position near Parliament.
