In Cyprus, a Drunk Russian Harassed a Drunk Ukrainian Woman. Her Companions Beat Him to a Pulp — He Might Lose an Eye
Russian media claim that a political discussion was the cause, but there is no confirmation of this.
On November 14, the Limassol District Court remanded four Ukrainian citizens in custody for six days. They are suspected of severely beating a 33-year-old citizen of Russia. This was reported by Cypriot media citing the police.
The fight took place on the night leading into Saturday in the center of Limassol, an area with many bars and nightclubs. Around 00:20, police received a report of an injured man. At the scene, they found a 33-year-old man lying on the ground. At the hospital, he was diagnosed with facial bone fractures, lacerations, and a hemorrhage in his left eye. The injuries proved to be severe. Doctors do not rule out that he could lose sight in one eye.
Police obtained evidence against four people: two 23-year-old men, a 22-year-old man, and a 22-year-old woman, all citizens of Ukraine. The detainees were also examined at the hospital. The 22-year-old man suffered a fractured nose, while the others had bruises. After receiving medical assistance, they were discharged.
According to the Phileleftheros newspaper, the fight may have started after the Russian made a remark to the 22-year-old companion of one of the detainees. It is also reported that the participants were likely intoxicated. When police explained the reason for the arrest to the detainees, one of them stated: «I was defending my wife.» The others confirmed his words.
Police are investigating a case of grievous bodily harm. They are establishing the role of each detainee and verifying whether anyone else was involved in the fight.
Some Russian media reported that the fight started from an argument about politics. Cypriot sources do not confirm this. According to preliminary police assessments, there is no ethnic or national motive behind this incident.
