Heraklion: Driver in Amok Attack Injures Couple After Destroying Their Field

A 44-year-old man caused panic in a village in Heraklion on Wednesday afternoon (March 5, 2025), as he attempted to run over a couple. The incident occurred outside the couple’s home in Kavrochori, Malevizi municipality, when the 44-year-old arrived at the scene with his car. Initially, he damaged a field adjacent to their house. When the couple went outside to see what was happening, the man tried to hit them with his vehicle. According to ERT, the 58-year-old woman managed to escape the driver’s rage, but her husband was not as fortunate. The driver managed to pin him between his car and a parked vehicle, causing injuries to his foot, pelvis, and abdominal area. The police were immediately notified and arrested the 44-year-old shortly afterward in Ammoudara. The 61-year-old victim was transported by EKAB to Heraklion University Hospital, where he is now out of danger. However, the motives behind the attacker’s actions remain unclear.
