A second suspect has been arrested in Limassol in connection with the alleged extortion and assault of a food delivery driver, police confirmed.

The Limassol district court has approved a seven-day remand for the latest suspect to allow further interrogations.

The 20-year-old man was taken into custody under a court warrant to assist with ongoing investigations.

Another 20-year-old suspect is already in detention on an eight-day remand order, while four other individuals remain at large.

The incident occurred on the evening of February 8 in the Ypsonas suburb, when a 24-year-old delivery driver collided with another motorcyclist.

Police allege the other rider assaulted the victim and demanded money to cover damages.

Several others then joined the attack, continuing to demand payment.

Investigators say the suspects also stole the driver’s mobile phone and a sum of money before fleeing the scene.

The victim was treated at hospital and discharged the same evening.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing, with enquiries continuing to identify and locate the remaining four suspects.

Authorities are examining all evidence and witness statements to determine each individual suspect’s involvement in the alleged attack.
