They tied her up, put a knife to her throat, threw liquid in her face and robbed her. Scenes from a gangster movie were actually experienced by a foreign domestic worker in Polis Chrysochous, by two masked men who broke into the house where she works for the purpose of robbery.
The complaint was made to the Police by the 82-year-old owner of the house, in whose service the victim of the attack is located. As he reported, last Friday two strangers entered through an open window of the auxiliary residence of the house, wearing hoods and threatened his domestic helper asking for money.
She replied that she had no cash with her, so the two robbers took a kitchen knife by putting it on her neck, while they also threw caustic liquid in her face, causing her to lose consciousness. According to the subsequent examinations of the Police, the two perpetrators took from the woman's bag an amount of €60 and left the scene.
The Police who were alerted by the 82-year-old, when he realized what had happened, arrived at the scene and found the domestic worker tied up, gagged and in a state of shock. The unfortunate worker was taken to Polis Chrysochous Hospital where doctors found redness on the wrists of the hands and ankle joints and received the necessary care.
Investigations to identify the robbers continue.
