A Greek island ferry captain and three of his crew faced homicide charges Wednesday over the death of a tardy passenger who was pushed by crew members into the sea as he tried to force his way onto the departing vessel in the country's main port of Piraeus.
The incident captured on a video and shared on social media sparked anger across the maritime country. It showed the passenger running onto the Blue Horizon ferry's loading ramp, which was still down and in place on the quay, as the ship had cast off its moorings and was about to leave. He tried to push past two crew members on the ramp who stopped him and manhandled him onto the quay.
The coast guard said the man was recovered unconscious from the harbour waters and later pronounced dead. An autopsy was underway to determine the precise cause of death. Varvitsiotis told privately-owned Parapolitika radio that the behaviour of the detained crew members was "a vile insult to Greek seamen."
