This is how the Turk who hit policemen tried to cross the roadblock

Police were attacked by a man of Turkish origin at the Ledra roadblock.

According to the police, around 3.30:29 yesterday afternoon, a XNUMX-year-old man presented himself at the crossing point of Ledras Street to cross from the occupied to the free areas.

During the check of his details, by an Officer of the Population and Immigration Registry, it was established that he did not have the right of passage to the free zones.

The 29-year-old left the crossing point and remained for some time in the dead zone. At some point he ran to the checkpoint to gain entry to the free zones. Immediately three members of the Police tried to stop him and as a result they were attacked by the 29-year-old.

He was pursued by another member of the Police and was stopped in an adjacent street of Ledras Street where he was arrested for the offenses of illegal entry into the territory of the Republic of Cyprus and assaulting members of the Police.

The three members of the Police who were attacked were taken to Nicosia General Hospital where they received first aid and were discharged. One member of the Police has a broken shoulder while the other two members have bruises on various parts of their bodies.

The Central Police Station of Nicosia continues the examinations.
