Police are on the lookout for a man in connection with the attempted murder of two other men at a Limassol cafe on Sunday night. According to investigators, the 45-year-old suspect was reportedly in a drunken state when he got into a heated argument with another 42-year-old.
After leaving the shop, the suspect reportedly returned moments later armed with a hunting rifle prompting the two men to try and disarm him. An altercation took place resulting in the gun going off and injuring an 18-year-old in the face.
The 42-year-old was also shot in the thigh but still managed to wrestle the weapon away from the suspect, who then fled on foot. Both men were rushed to Limassol General Hospital where they were both treated for their injuries. The 42-year-old man also underwent minor surgery but both men are said by doctors to be out of danger.
