A 20-year-old rider of an electric scooter reported to the police on Tuesday that he was assaulted and robbed on Monday evening in Limassol.

The police said on Wednesday that two people approached the victim on a motorcycle and asked him to stop.

When he refused, the two suspects attacked and kicked him, making the victim lose his balance and fall to the ground.

According to the complaint, the 20-year-old ran to a nearby bakery for protection and after a few minutes ten more people gathered, holding bats and knives.

They then tried to attack the 20-year-old and a friend of his, who both managed to flee.

The 20-year-old reported that the perpetrators stole his electric scooter and a small bag with his wallet, cash and mobile phone.

Limassol police are investigating the case.
