A 23-year-old man was on Thursday ordered to will face trial next month over two separate assaults on police officers in Limassol on Tuesday and Wednesday.

Police said the first incident occurred on Tuesday evening when officers were called to a shop after an alarm was triggered.

The suspect was reportedly seen entering the premises, holding a bottle of alcohol and showing signs of intoxication.

When officers attempted to verify his details, he allegedly attacked a female officer and later resisted arrest, during which he is said to have threatened officers with a broken bottle.

Reinforcements were called to the scene before he was detained. He later reportedly injured himself while in custody by striking his head.

The man was taken to Limassol general hospital but refused medical examination. Two police officers were also treated for minor injuries and discharged.

The next day, police responded to reports of a disturbance at a Limassol property involving the same individual.

Officers said he shouted, threw furniture, and caused concern while intoxicated.

When approached, he allegedly refused to cooperate, insulted officers, and resisted arrest, striking two policemen.

The officers received treatment at hospital and were discharged.

The suspect appeared before Limassol district court, where the case was registered to begin on May 15.

He was released on bail pending trial.
