The protagonists of an episode in which one of them was injured and taken to hospital and a second was arrested and detained, were two 65-year-olds in Paphos.
According to Paphos Police Director Nikos Tsappis, a 65-year-old man was arrested in connection with a case of assault causing grievous bodily harm to another 65-year-old neighbour.
