The injury of a 17-year-old is the result of brutal incidents between minors at the camp in Paphos, with the Police investigating a case of rioting of malicious damage and illegal possession of offensive weapons.

According to the Spokesperson of the Paphos ADE and Head of the Paphos ICF, Michalis Nikolaou, on 6.12.22 at 10:30 an information was given that a number of minors residing in the closed structure, on Adamantiou Korai Street, were causing a commotion between them by wielding lumps of wood and other objects.

Members of the Paphos ADE went to the scene and saw seven minors beating each other while during the fight they caused damage to the main entrance of the hotel as well as to other objects of the hotel.

The total value of the damage is €2,200. A 17-year-old was injured in the fight and was taken to Paphos Hospital, given first aid and subsequently discharged.

Those involved, according to Mr. Nikolaou, were not arrested because they are minors. However, they are expected to be questioned and charged in writing and it will be examined whether they will be prosecuted or not.
