Man Arrested in Limassol After Attempted Arson and Bombing of Brewery

A 44-year-old man from Sri Lanka was arrested in Limassol after attempting to set fire to and bomb a brewery in Zakaki. The man was initially spotted by the brewery owner, who subdued him, but the suspect managed to escape. He was eventually apprehended with the help of other citizens and taken to the hospital injured. The brewery had previously been targeted by criminal activity, and authorities are investigating a possible connection to a rivalry with another establishment in the area. A jerrycan of flammable liquid and an improvised explosive device were found at the scene.
