Police have arrested a 68-year-old man from Nicosia after a video on social media on Wednesday showed him physically and verbally abusing a young foreign woman.
He is set to appear before district court for a remand order later on Thursday.
The woman, aged 31, who is a home help, has filed a written complaint against him after police took the initiative to locate her and arrest the man.
Lakatamia police are carrying further investigations into the case.
