Police arrested a 29-year-old man for assaulting police officers and illegally entering the territory of the Republic of Cyprus.
Specifically, at around 3.30 yesterday afternoon, a 29-year-old man presented himself at the crossing point of Ledra Street to pass through the occupied areas to the free areas.
During the verification of his data by an Officer of the Civil Registry and Migration, it was found that he did not have the right of passage to the free areas.
The 29-year-old left the crossing point and remained in the buffer zone for some time. At some point he ran to the checkpoint to gain entry into the free areas. Immediately three members of the police tried to stop him and as a result they were attacked by the 29-year-old.
He was pursued by another member of the Police and stopped on an adjacent street on Ledra Street where he was arrested for the offences of illegal entry into the territory of the Republic of Cyprus and assault against members of the Police.
The three members of the Police who were attacked were transferred to Nicosia General Hospital where they were discharged after receiving first aid. One member of the police has a fractured shoulder while the other two members have bruises on various parts of their bodies.
The Nicosia Central Police Station continues the examinations.
