Jeep driven over man

A JEEP was driven over a 24-year-old Polish man after he had been beaten up in a Kato Paphos parking lot at about 3.30am this morning, according to the police.

The Pole told officers that he had argued with four men in the parking lot, after they had harassed his girlfriend.

The four men then attacked him, knocking him to the ground before getting into their black jeep and driving it over him.

The 24-year-old was taken to Paphos General Hospital and the on-duty doctor confirmed he had various injuries, including tyre burns, that were not life-threatening.

Police are searching for the four men.
