Authorities in Famagusta, Cyprus, have arrested two young men aged 22 and 30 to facilitate investigations in connection with a case of assault and causing bodily harm, involving a 25-year-old Turkish Cypriot woman.

The incident took place in the early hours of Saturday morning in Ayia Napa when a group of Greek Cypriots argued with a group of Turkish Cypriots, resulting in them getting into a fight.

The two Greek Cypriots, according to witnesses, hit the girl, causing her to fall from a two-metre high wall.
