A 24-year-old man was remanded for seven days by the Larnaca district court on Thursday for the attempted murder of 19-year-old Greek Cypriot.

Police are investigating offences including attempted murder, grievous bodily harm, assault causing serious injury and stabbing against him.

The incident occurred at a costal nightclub in Larnaca last Sunday.

An accidental contact in a crowded space reportedly led to an argument, followed by a physical altercation during which the victim was punched in the face.

The victim later realised he was bleeding and was taken to hospital by his friends.

Doctors found a three-centimetre wound in the kidney area and a raptured kidney caused by a sharp object.

Larnaca CID continues investigations with evidence collected at the scene led to the identification and arrest of the suspect.
