Police investigate viral video of delivery driver assault in Limassol

A physical assault on a food delivery worker occurred on Spyrou Kyprianou Avenue in Limassol at approximately 17:45 on Friday, October 2, 2026. A video published by the platform RoadReportCY shows two men punching and kicking the courier, with one assailant appearing to hold him in a headlock. While the video begins with the delivery rider standing near his bicycle and a black car, eyewitness accounts report that the confrontation started when a passenger in the vehicle grabbed the courier's delivery bag, pulling him off his bike onto the road before the physical altercation moved to a nearby traffic island.

Initially, no official complaint was filed with the authorities. However, following the widespread circulation of the footage, the police initiated an ex officio investigation. Investigators have since identified and questioned the two men involved, who provided their own accounts of the incident, claiming that the dispute arose from the delivery driver's behavior on the road. As of now, the victim has not come forward to the authorities, and the investigation remains ongoing to determine the full circumstances of the attack.
