THE EGYPTIAN ambassador to Cyprus has been accused of allegedly physically abusing police officers and then delivering an explicit rant at officials at Larnaca airport.
According to an account by police officers, the ambassador used foul language and proceeded to hit them after being turned away from the secure departures area, which is reserved exclusively for passengers.
Some media reports suggest that a female airport worker is in hospital with swelling and bruising after being slapped by the ambassador, but the reports cannot be confirmed.

I wonder why she got the impression Cyprus is a Banana Republic.
