Violent Roadside Attack Leaves Grandfather Critically Injured And Child Hospitalized In Varvaseina
A severe act of violence unfolded on Wednesday morning in Varvaseina Pyrgos Ilia, where an elderly man and his 12 year old grandson were assaulted while traveling together.
Police reports indicate that their vehicle was blocked by two cars carrying approximately four individuals, preventing them from continuing along a rural road.
Witness accounts describe a brutal confrontation, during which the assailants reportedly used extreme force and even wielded sledgehammers.
The grandfather sustained multiple serious injuries and was urgently transported to the University General Hospital of Patras in Rio due to his critical condition.
The 12 year old remains under medical care at Pyrgos Hospital with fractures, though doctors do not consider his life to be in immediate danger.
Early indications suggest that the incident stemmed from personal disputes between the involved parties.
Residents of the area were left shocked as the attack turned the road into a chaotic scene, prompting an immediate response from police units and EKAV ambulances.
Authorities from the Hellenic Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the assault as the case develops.
