Four drunken Ukrainians fractured the skull of a Russian tourist in Cyprus over a dispute over politics.
The attack took place in the Saripulo area of Limassol. Previously, the girlfriend was drunk, and the conflict started after an argument between a 33-year-old Russian man and the 22-year-old girlfriend of one of the participants. One of the detainees claims that the tourist made an "unacceptable statement" to the girl.
The victim was found lying on the ground near the factory and was taken to the hospital. He was diagnosed with a fractured skull, facial contusions, cuts and bleeding in his left eye. The doctors do not rule out the possibility that he may lose his sight and are considering the possibility of surgery.
Four Ukrainian citizens were arrested in the case: young men aged 22 and 23 and a 22-year-old girl. A medical examination revealed that one of the suspects had a broken nose, and the others had bruises and abrasions.
One of the detainees stated that he was protecting his wife. The court in Limassol decided to keep all four in custody for 6 days. The circumstances of the incident are becoming clear.
