Police have arrested an Israeli supporter in connection with an alleged assault on police officers during disturbances outside AEK Arena in Larnaca.

The arrest follows clashes that erupted on Thursday evening ahead of the UEFA Conference League qualifying match between AEK Larnaca and Beitar Jerusalem.
