Limassol stabbing victim out of danger as police hunt suspects

A 36-year-old Syrian man who was stabbed during an attack last weekend is now out of danger and has regained consciousness, police said on Wednesday.

Officers say the man is being treated in a private hospital and was expected to give a statement to investigators later today.

The attempted murder happened shortly after 7pm on Saturday on Anexartisias street, one of the busiest areas of Limassol.

Police say the man was standing outside a café when he was approached by three people.
