He was taken to Nicosia general hospital where he underwent hours of surgery. According to reports he sustained a neck injury.
His condition was described as stable on Thursday.
The injured man is said to be known to authorities in connection with other cases. Well-informed sources reported that he was involved in the drug scene in Larnaca.
