Around 50 individuals with their faces covered and armed with various objects stormed the Omonia fan club premises in Lakatamia last night, causing extensive damage and injuring three people. The incident took place after the Omonia-APOEL derby, which Omonia won 2-1.
According to police reports, the masked group entered the club around 11 PM on Sunday night, destroying property and assaulting three patrons. The injured- two men aged 30 and 33, and a 68-year-old woman- were taken to the Nicosia General Hospital for examination. Fortunately, their condition is reported as stable, and they were discharged after receiving first aid.
The violence did not stop there. A separate incident connected to the derby saw a woman arrested for verbally assaulting police officers outside the stadium. Additionally, a vehicle was damaged near the stadium, prompting its owner to file a complaint with the police.
Police presence in the area managed to prevent further damage, intercepting suspects who intended to vandalise property near the stadium. The suspects fled the scene as police intervened. Investigations are ongoing.
