Later, at 2.30am the casualty department at the general hospital told police that they were treating a patient injured by shotgun pellets. Then, at around 3.45am two people went to a police station to report they had been wounded.
It was later reported that Residents in the quiet Nicosia village of Peristerona were kept awake on Tuesday night, as a hoard of economic migrants exchanged blows and gunfire. Three people were injured by pellets fired during the scuffles.
