Attempted murder outside Larnaca nightclub under investigation

Police are investigating an attempted murder case that occurred around 3:00 AM outside a nightclub in Larnaca.

According to police, a 22-year-old Cypriot encountered his girlfriend's 19-year-old ex-boyfriend at the club. An altercation broke out between them, after which security removed the alleged attacker from the premises.

Later, the 19-year-old discovered that the man was puncturing his car tires. When he approached the vehicle, the suspect got into his own car and intentionally drove it at the young man, accelerating. The impact threw the victim onto the car roof before he fell onto the asphalt.

Friends took the victim to the hospital. He was diagnosed with head abrasions and a knee injury and was released home after receiving treatment.

The suspect fled the scene but was later detained by police. He is expected to appear before the district court for a remand hearing.
