A 24-year-old man from a village in Paphos District was detained last night who was wanted for the incident of injuring a force officer.
According to a spokesman for the Paphos police directorate, the officer serving at the Paphos police station stopped a vehicle driven by a young man who is alleged to have previously been of concern to the authorities, around midnight on Friday.
The youth initially stopped but when the officer approached him to ask him to get out of the car, he started his vehicle, dragging the officer away. Subsequently, the young driver fled in an unknown direction.
The police officer was taken to the Accident and Emergency Department of Paphos General Hospital where he was detained for treatment. His state of health is described by the attending physicians as out of danger. An arrest warrant was issued against the young driver of the vehicle and on Saturday night he was arrested and taken into custody.
Investigations into the case are continuing by the Paphos Police.
