A 32 year old man was remanded in custody for two days by Paphos District Court on Wednesday on suspicion of trying to rob a 69 year old man outside a supermarket.
The man had just walked out of the shop, shopping bags in hand, when a young man assaulted him trying to grab the bags.
The 69 year old started shouting for help and the would-be thief ran off. Based on a description given by the victim and other witnesses police arrested the 32 year old who denies any involvement in the incident.
