Five arrested in Paphos after rock-throwing violence

Five people were arrested in Paphos on Friday night following an incident involving the throwing of rocks and pieces of wood due to a reported financial dispute.

A policeman on duty in the town at around 11.10pm noticed a man chasing two other people up a street and throwing rocks and pieces of wood at them.

He then attempted to intervene in the situation, but the rock thrower then got into the back of a car, which then drove off.

The policeman then contacted colleagues about the incident to put them on alert.
