The 24-year-old perpetrator of the knife attack in a shop in Kifissia allegedly had financial differences with the company.

As ERT summarizes, everything happened shortly before six in the afternoon in a central location, in the shopping center of Kifissia, on Levidou Street, when a young man entered the store.

He stabbed the employee and fled.

The victim is hospitalized in Evangelismos with head and hand injuries.

According to information, he was looking for a specific man from the store, most likely the owner, since according to police sources he is alleged to have had some financial disputes with the business, according to the investigation so far. But instead, he got into an argument with one of the employees and attacked him with a large knife.

The employee, 21 years old, was behind the buffet and suffered serious injuries to his face, head and limbs.

The 24-year-old then tried to run away, but the neighborhood had a lot of traffic and they chased him, managed to stop him and called the police.

It was established that this is a Greek man, 24 years old and according to a testimony, when he made the attack he was wearing gloves and shouting: “I’ve been working since I was thirteen and you ate my money”.

The injured man walked, covered in blood, with the help of the shop people to a nearby pharmacy. His severe wounds were bandaged with gauze until the ambulance arrived and he was transferred to Evangelismos, where he is being treated, out of danger.

An eyewitness describes how the unfortunate man had blood on his face, head and hands and they gave him first aid at the pharmacy.

“We tied him up very well with gauze and called the ambulance to come pick him up. I didn’t see the perpetrator, I heard a bang and went out to help the child.”
