Four individuals were placed in six-day custody on Saturday after being arrested in connection with the altercation that took place in the early morning hours in the Saripolou area, in Limassol, which resulted in serious injuries to a 33-year-old Russian man. Police are investigating the possibility that other individuals were involved in the incident, while, according to their assessments so far, the causes of the altercation are not ethnically motivated.

The four suspects from Ukraine—two 23-year-old men, a 22-year-old man, and a 22-year-old woman, were brought before the Limassol District Court, which issued six-day detention orders against them.

According to the police, at around 12:20 a.m., a report was received regarding an injured person in the Saripolou area. Police officers who arrived at the scene found a 33-year-old man injured on the ground, who was transported by ambulance to Limassol General Hospital.

Medical examinations revealed that he had suffered a skull fracture, lacerations to the face, and bleeding in the eye. Subsequently, due to the severity of his injuries, he was transported to Nicosia General Hospital for further treatment.

As part of the investigation, testimony was obtained against four individuals, who were located by the police shortly before 1:00 a.m. and were arrested pursuant to court warrants.

The four detainees also underwent medical examinations at Limassol General Hospital. It was determined that the 22-year-old had suffered a broken nose, while the others had abrasions and bruises on various parts of their bodies. After receiving medical treatment, they were discharged.

The Limassol CID is continuing its investigation to determine the exact circumstances of the altercation and to ascertain whether other individuals were involved.
