Authorities had to intervene and break up a mass fight at the Pournara reception centre for asylum seekers on Saturday morning.
Police told the Cyprus Mail that information from the centre suggested as many as 300 people were involved in the fight which broke out around 11am between two different nationalities.
“With the intervention of the police, the incidents were put under control,” a police spokesman said.
Reports said police had to intervene with tear gas, however their use was not immediately confirmed by the police’s press office.
Officers were at the scene collecting testimonies to determine the exact cause of the brawl.
