A second arrest was made last night by the police in connection with an ongoing case of a scuffle outside a pub in Paphos on the evening of 15 April 2022.
This is a 31-year-old resident of Paphos, who was arrested to facilitate the interrogations.
Both the 31-year-old and the 23-year-old, who had been arrested for facilitating investigations in the same case, appeared before a Court today which issued a detention order for 3 days.
As reported in an earlier Cyprus Times report, the 23-year-old was inside a parked vehicle outside a residential door when he was observed moving it.
Immediately after the remark, the 23-year-old, along with his fellow nationals, carrying sticks, stones and knives, attacked café patrons by smashing shop and car windows.
As soon as the incident became known, dozens of residents, mostly young people, took to the streets in search of the Syrians and threatened to escalate the incident.
A strong police force rushed to the area and took charge of guarding the houses where the Syrians were staying.
The throwing of stones caused damages of about 100 euros to the house, while the vehicle of one of the complainants also suffered damages of about 1,000 euros.
The Paphos CID is continuing the investigations.
