A 40-year-old shop owner has been arrested after a teacher alleged the woman attacked her outside the Paphos primary school where she teaches, police said. The two had fallen out over goods the teacher had bought from the shop.
According to police, the two women appear to have arranged to meet outside the school to talk about their disagreement.
The teacher had complained about the purchases. She told police the shop owner first verbally abused her over those complaints and then assaulted her, breaking her glasses.
The teacher went to Paphos General Hospital, where doctors found bruises and grazes, and then reported the incident to police.
The shop owner is being held in custody, and police are continuing their inquiries.
