A defendant attempted to flee from his court hearing early on Thursday, leading to police firing warning shots in the air as they dashed after him.
The defendant managed to dodge his court appearance as he instead ended up in Famagusta hospital to receive treatment for minor injuries – sustained as the police grappled him as he was recaptured.
The brazen escape attempt took place as he exited the police car which drove him to court, where he was scheduled to face charges for petty crimes allegedly carried out in 2021.
The Famagusta police spokesman was not immediately available for comment.
