According to the Famagusta Criminal Investigations Department, the incident occurred on July 17 at a hotel pool. The victim reported that the young man verbally abused her and physically assaulted her.
It is alleged that the conflict began when the British woman asked the man to "stop harassing other female guests at the hotel," which provoked his aggressive reaction.
