A 34-year-old man was arrested on Sunday to facilitate investigations into last week’s attempted kidnapping of a man in Larnaca.

A 25-year-old had been arrested earlier on Sunday and placed in custody in connection with the same case.

The police are investigating assault and causing actual bodily harm, attempted kidnapping, threats, extortion and illegal possession of an offensive instrument.

The case had been reported by a 46-year-old Larnaca resident, who said that he had been assaulted on Saturday at around 5pm by three men who were outside his home.

One of the three men allegedly hit the victim with a bat and then with the help of the other two tried to get him into their car.

The 46-year-old said he resisted and managed to get away.

Police investigations led to testimony against the 25-year-old, who was arrested on Sunday.
