Man robbed by his drinking pal

Imagine being robbed by your friend at knife point.... This is the sorry story of a 61-year-old Greek Cypriot man who was tied up and robbed at knife-point in his apartment by his drinking buddy early on Tuesday in Nicosia.

According to Cyprus Mail, the man was found by police lying on the balcony of his home at 2.15am after he called for help. 

Officers had to force open the door of the apartment with the help of the fire service to gain entry.

He said he had been drinking with a person known to him from 10pm on Monday and three hours later, at around 1am, his guest attacked him, threatened him with a knife and tied him up before stealing clothes, jewellery and money of as yet unknown value.
