Limassol police have opened an investigation into a brawl in the Agia Zoni area, near the city centre, on Thursday afternoon. A video posted on social media appeared to show a break-in at a house, followed by a fight in which those involved were holding various objects, one of them a pole.
Police learned of the video on Friday and, although no complaint had been filed, launched an investigation on their own initiative, a Limassol police official told Phileleftheros.
In the video, a person allegedly breaks into a house believed to be abandoned while another stands outside. Those involved then come out of the building, one of them holding a pole, and the fight continues outside.
The person who posted the video said he had called the police, but that the fight lasted about 25 minutes with no sign of police at the scene. He claimed it involved a group of about 20 people exchanging heavy blows with iron bars and pieces of wood.
