In a harrowing incident near Piraeus, a 22-year-old Greek boxer named Manolis Kafetziadis courageously saved a 17-year-old local girl from an attempted sexual assault perpetrated by four foreign men of Egyptian descent, according to local reports.
One Twitter user claimed the harrowing ordeal took place near Athens, where the attackers “threw rocks” at Kafetziadis and “threatened to slash him with broken glass bottles.”
The shocking attack happened at the picturesque Freattyda beach, where the teenage girl was enjoying a swim with her 15-year-old boyfriend.
Armed with nothing more than an ordinary pen, Kafetziadis leapt into action.
Despite being outnumbered, he managed to fend off the four attackers and protect the victims until authorities could arrive.
The attackers initially evaded capture after a prolonged struggle.
However, the swift response by local police led to a comprehensive manhunt that culminated in their apprehension.
After the four Egyptian men were arrested, both victims positively identified them.
The alleged perpetrators now face an array of serious charges, including attempted sexual assault, attempted severe bodily harm, and attempted robbery.
This alarming incident has underscored the bravery of Kafetziadis, highlighting his quick-thinking response in a moment of crisis.
His intervention underscores the significance of community vigilance and swift police action in combating crime.
