The Larnaca Police Department is investigating a case of attempted murder, acts aimed at causing grievous bodily harm, assault causing grievous bodily harm and carrying a knife with an alleged 24-year-old Syrian perpetrator. The offenses were committed on 12/4 around 22:00 in a nightclub in Larnaca.
Specifically, the perpetrator and the victim, who is a 19-year-old Greek Cypriot, were having fun inside the same night property in a coastal area of Larnaca. The two are not related to each other and at some point, apparently due to the crowds, they hit each other's bodies, as a result of which they quarrelled and the victim was attacked with a blow to the face.
Subsequently, as the victim returned to his table, he felt a burn on the back right side of his body and realized that he was bleeding.
The victim was taken to the hospital by his friends and was found to have a wound 3 cm long in the right renal region and renal rupture. He remains for inpatient treatment while his condition, although considered serious, is out of danger.
The scene was examined by members of the Larnaca Police Department where evidence was received, while the examinations that followed identified the details of the perpetrator and an arrest warrant was issued against him and he is wanted.
The examinations continue from the TAE of Larnaca.
