A manhunt was underway in Limassol on Friday after a 24-year-old man was stabbed during an argument at a building site in Zakaki.

According to police, the incident occurred at around 10am when the 24-year-old was working at the site and became involved in an argument with two men aged 20 and 22.

During the incident, the 22-year-old allegedly attacked the worker with a knife, injuring him in the abdomen and lower extremities.

The two suspects then fled the scene and were seen on closed-circuit television running towards a vehicle before driving away at high speed.

The injured man was taken to Limassol General Hospital, where doctors found superficial wounds to his abdomen and legs, as well as an injury to an artery in his left knee.

He was subsequently transferred to Nicosia General Hospital for further treatment. His condition was described by doctors as being out of danger.

Police are investigating a case of grievous bodily harm and are continuing efforts to locate the two suspects.
