Larnaca police arrest homeless man after attack during welfare check
A 39-year-old homeless man was arrested by Larnaca police on Monday night after attacking an officer during a welfare check. The incident occurred shortly after 11pm when officers found the man lying in an open area of the city. Authorities initially approached to ensure his safety, as he is a recognized political refugee known for repeatedly sleeping on the streets.
Upon noticing the police presence, the man reportedly became enraged, shouting threats and causing a disturbance. The situation escalated when he physically attacked one of the officers at the scene. He was subsequently taken into custody and remanded by authorities pending further legal action.
