Five Food Delivery Riders Injured in Paphos Following Payment Dispute and Assault
Five food delivery riders were injured in Paphos on Tuesday night after a dispute over payment for a food order escalated into a violent brawl. The initial incident involved a 26-year-old rider who was attacked by a group refusing to pay for their order, with one assailant throwing a stone at him.
The situation worsened as about ten unknown men, some armed with metal objects, arrived and attacked the riders, damaging their motorcycles. Subsequently, another rider was robbed of cash and his mobile phone by three attackers before they fled the scene.
All five injured riders were taken to Paphos General Hospital, with four discharged after treatment and one remaining for further care. The CID in Paphos is investigating charges including conspiracy, riot, robbery, assault, and illegal possession of weapons related to the incident.
