Syrians bloody brawl outside Paphos Mall, as they settled financial score
More than 10 Syrian citizens living in Paphos were involved in a violent altercation outside the city’s Mall area, using punches, sticks, crowbars, and stones. At least three individuals suffered injuries, and seven were arrested by police, with others being sought. The clash between two opposing groups of Syrians occurred last night and is believed to have been over a financial dispute. The incident lasted more than an hour, and the combatants were reportedly armed with sharp instruments. Eyewitnesses alerted the authorities, leading to the arrest of seven individuals, while three are receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries at Paphos General Hospital. The CID is investigating the brawl, which is thought to have been premeditated.
