A 38-year-old man ended up in intensive care at Paphos general hospital in the early hours yesterday after he was knifed at a beach when he told a group to turn down their music.

The Ukrainian, permanent resident of Cyprus, was stabbed in the thorax and his back.

He was driven to hospital after 1am by a member of the public who found him at Potima beach in Kissonerga.

Before going into surgery, the man told police he was at the beach with a Russian woman and had asked two men to turn down music from their car’s radio. “They seem to have immediately attacked him and one of them pulled out a knife and injured him with it,” a police announcement said.

The two men were not known to the man but the police
