Serious incidents between over one hundred hooded and masked men broke overnight on Wednesday in Limassol, resulting in the injury of a 21-year-old and property damages.
According to the police, the incidents happened shortly before 11pm between groups of hooligans bearing bats, stones, and other objects, who gathered outside the Omonia football club.
Police arriving at the scene following reports from the public, encountered two groups, around 40 from Omonia and 80 from Apollonas, attacking each other with rocks, firecrackers, teargas, and Molotov cocktails.
As a result of the violence a car caught fire, shop windows were smashed, and a 21-year-old man was injured in the elbow. Upon arriving at the hospital he was found to have suffered a fracture.
The perpetrators dispersed into the neighborhoods when the authorities arrived. Police have taken statements and arrested one person so far, found in possession of three Molotov cocktails at the scene.
Investigations into the incident continue.
