The Wild May Team [OAM; Omáda Ágrios Máis] was a short-lived Greek anarchist outfit that appeared on May 15, 2017 when about twenty assailants firebombed a police station in the Omonia neighborhood of Athens.¹ The attackers were also believed to have thrown incendiary bombs at a trade association’s office and a riot police squad in the Exarchia neighborhood later that night.²

Two days after the incidents, the OAM published a statement on the internet in which it claimed responsibility for the attack on the police station.³ The outfit reported having carried out the operation in memory of the May 15, 1985 killing of three police officers by an anarchist.⁴
