Arrests for teen beating

Police on Sunday arrested three people aged 17, 18, and 19, in connection with a case that saw a 17-year-old boy beaten by a group of people in Paralimni.

He was found at around 2am after officers were notified of a fight on Pernera avenue. The teenager, a Nicosia resident, was taken to Famagusta general hospital.

Medical examination revealed the teenager had sustained a fractured jaw and rib injuries. Later on Sunday, he was transferred to Nicosia general hospital, where he underwent surgery.

Following the investigation, the three suspects were arrested on Sunday under court-issued warrants and are currently in custody.

The Famagusta CID is continuing its investigation.
