A 32-year-old man was arrested while sitting at a supermarket café with a knife that appeared to have spots of blood.
The arrest unfolded on Sunday in Limassol, after members of the public thought he looked familiar to a police image shared the previous day over an attempted murder attempt.
Officers reached the scene and during a spot search, found a knife that had what appeared to be pools of blood.
He admitted to being on the scene but investigations are ongoing.
