Knife fight in Limassol club ends in serious injury

FOUR people, one of whom is in critical condition, were injured in a knife fight at a Limassol club late on Thursday.

The incident began when a 41-year old and a 19-year-old who had knives and golf clubs, met up with others to find a 34-year-old.

A fight ensued and a 37-year-old was seriously injured and transferred to Larnaca General Hospital where he was said to be in critical condition.

He was later moved to Nicosia General Hospital.

A police spokesman Marinos Vassiliou said yesterday that “concerning the causes of the quarrel, it seems that there were personal differences between them.”

A 55-year-old, a 41-year-old and a 21-year-old were also injured but not seriously.

The 41-year old was arrested and kept at the hospital where he is being treated

Limassol CID is investigating the case.
