The exact circumstances, under which the 20-year-old Larnaca resident was injured during incidents between fans of Anorthosis and Apollon outside "Antonis Papadopoulos" yesterday, is being investigated by Larnaca CID.
As reported in a previous Cyprus Times report, the 20-year-old suffered serious burns from Molotov cocktails, according to information before the authorities.
Due to the seriousness of his condition, it was deemed necessary to transfer him to the Burns Unit of the Nicosia General Hospital where he is being intubated.
Investigation into the circumstances
As first highlighted by the City of Larnaka and reported in the Cyprus Times by his family, the 20-year-old whose house is adjacent to the stadium, at the time of the riots had been out walking his dog and was not involved. "On his return home he noticed a fire in an adjacent field and went to put it out when he suddenly felt something burning him, apparently it was a Molotov cocktail" as we were told.
The investigation by Larnaca CID in order to establish the exact circumstances is in full swing.
Recall that, as reported in a previous post, the incidents occurred outside the Antonis Papadopoulos stadium just before the start of the derby between Anorthosis and Apollon.
Fans of the two teams exchanged stones, firecrackers and flares, while the Aianta vehicle[/B], used by the authorities to suppress the rioting, was also used.
A member of the police was slightly injured in the incidents.[/B]
