According to information under investigation, at around 9pm on Wednesday, a 23-year-old man was allegedly attacked outside a kiosk in the Agios Nikolaos area of Limassol by five people.
The suspects allegedly struck the man before fleeing the scene.
The 23-year-old was taken by ambulance to Limassol General Hospital, while police were called to the scene.
