Delivery drivers targeted in separate violent incidents in Limassol

Two separate violent incidents involving delivery drivers occurred in Limassol in early November 2026, prompting investigations by the Limassol Criminal Investigation Department (CID). On the evening of October 30, a 22-year-old student working as a delivery rider was attacked on Omonia Avenue. A group of five to six youths threw stones at him while he was riding, resulting in a fractured nose and head injuries that required 11 stitches. The victim managed to reach a safe location, where he received medical assistance at Limassol General Hospital before being discharged.

In a separate incident on the night of November 3, a 27-year-old delivery driver was targeted on Paphos Street. Four individuals riding two black motorcycles forced the driver to stop and demanded money. When he refused, the attackers struck him in the abdomen with a baton and punched him in the back. The victim began shouting, which caused the suspects to flee the scene without stealing any property. Both cases remain under active investigation by the police.
