Glyka Nera: 17-year-old arrested for brutal beating of 50-year-old man

The man was reportedly attacked so violently — even struck with a scooter — that he sustained severe injuries and had to be admitted to the ICU of Evangelismos Hospital, where he remains intubated.

According to sources, the 17-year-old’s parents claimed that two days earlier, the 50-year-old had threatened the minor’s sister with a knife, which may have been the reason for Monday night’s assault.

The same sources say the initial assessment by the coroner suggests that some of the victim’s injuries may also have been caused by a fall following the savage attack by the minor and possibly others involved.

The 17-year-old is now facing charges of attempted murder.

The beating took place outside an elementary school in Glyka Nera. Witnesses reported that the 50-year-old suffers from mental health issues. It’s also reported that he has been institutionalized in the past due to psychological problems.

Residents told MEGA they heard the youths shouting at the 50-year-old: “Stay right there like that, die.”
