Limassol court remands passenger after stabbing incident

A 56-year-old man was remanded in custody for three days by the Limassol District Court following a stabbing incident involving a 68-year-old victim. The conflict occurred in the Mesa Geitonia area of Limassol following a dispute between drivers, allegedly triggered by a honked horn. Reports vary on the timing, with some sources citing Friday and others Saturday, but agree that a 22-year-old woman was driving the vehicle where the suspect was a passenger. During the altercation, the passenger reportedly exited the car and stabbed the 68-year-old in the abdomen. The victim was transported to a local hospital, treated for a laceration to his abdominal wall, and subsequently discharged. The 22-year-old driver was arrested on Sunday, charged in writing, and released to appear in court at a later date. Police continue to investigate the charges of carrying a knife and causing injury. The Limassol Criminal Investigation Department remains in charge of the case.
