A great disturbance was caused on the day of Panagia in Sfakia, when a man beat up his fellow villager.

The episode, according to information from zarpanews.gr, unfolded on Tuesday afternoon, in Askifou, when the man went to a cafe in the village, where “the target” was also sitting. He approached the man and started hitting him with his katsuna.

He sent him to the hospital

He hit him so hard that the victim had to be taken to the Chania hospital.

Also, information from zarpanews.gr states that at noon on Wednesday, police authorities were heading to the village to do the necessary things.

According to sources, the two men reportedly had property disputes and there was frequent bickering between the two.

“They raised weapons and threatened!”

An eyewitness to the incident, a patron of the store, in his complaint to zarpanews.gr, stated that “he started to hit the victim furiously. We got scared and immediately left. They even raised weapons and threatened to shoot.”

According to the testimony, such incidents are frequent in the village. “It’s not like we can’t go out of our homes because we’re afraid. Something must be done immediately. We fear for our lives,” he said characteristically.
