A 38-year-old man was arrested in Paphos on Tuesday for verbally assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest.
According to Paphos police spokesperson Michalis Nicolaou, at 6pm a police officer, off duty at that time, was the victim of a traffic accident when a car rammed into her own private vehicle while she was stopped at a red light on Anexartisias Street.
The police officer got off her car and asked the driver of the other vehicle for his ID and driving licence, after identifying herself as a police officer.
However, the 38-year-old allegedly reacted badly, as he started verbally abusing the officer, while resisting the arrest.
