Police in Paphos on Thursday were searching for a man suspected of having attacked his 23-year-old roommate with a knife.
Local police spokesman Michalis Nicolaou said the incident occurred on Wednesday night.
At 9pm, police were called to the Paphos general hospital after the 23-year-old man was brought in with lacerations to his right temple and lip.
The man told police that he had argued with his roommate, who then pulled a kitchen knife and attacked him.
Police said the fight was over a mobile phone the suspect had let the victim borrow. The 23-year-old returned the phone, but according to police, the suspect claimed the phone did not work properly.
The 23-year-old will remain in the hospital for further testing.
Police said they are still searching for the suspect.
