Two Nigerian students stabbed,one badly injured in CIU

Friday night was not a really cool night to anticipate for a cool weekend as there was pandemonium in the residential apartment area of Cyprus International University as two male students were stabbed and one badly injured.

News gathered by our correspondent at the crime scene stated that the fight which happened around 8pm was between two Nigerian students believed to be fighting because of a girl, an eye witness close to the scene stated "I and my freind were having a chat around here when we heard two guys shouting at each other and before we could attend to them, one of them had already stabbed the other and his friend who was trying to help him before he fled".

It was gathered that the guy was in his room when one of his friends called him out to talk but which led to argument and before he could make attempts to defend himself, he got stabbed in the chest area with his friend who survived the stab and helped him to call the ambulance. They were transferred to the British Kolan hospital and Burhan Nalbantoğlu Hospital in Lefkosa.

One person who can not be identified and believed to be the attacker is said to have escaped the scene of the attack. Two of them were later discharged and arrested by the police after their treatment.

Police are currently investigating the incident and also searching for three other people involved in the fight.

The good news is that they did not sustain life threatening injuries.
