Two 26-year-old men damaged a car and beat a 36-year-old woman and her father with clubs in Pyrgos before fleeing, leaving the woman with a fractured arm.
Attack outside the Pyrgos residence
A violent encounter occurred in the town of Pyrgos in the Elis regional unit during the early hours of Saturday, 12 September 2026, leaving a 36-year-old woman and her father injured outside their home. According to reports lodged with local authorities, two 26-year-old men arrived at the residential property with their faces concealed by hoods and armed with bats. One of the perpetrators was identified as the 26-year-old former domestic partner of the woman, accompanied by a male friend of the same age. The two men began the incident by targeting and damaging the woman's car parked directly in front of the residence.
The sound of the vandalism alerted the occupants inside the home. When the 36-year-old woman and her father stepped outside into the yard to inspect the vehicle and determine what had happened, the two hooded men immediately attacked them. The assailants delivered successive blows with the clubs against both individuals. Amid the struggle, the father managed to grab and remove the hood covering the face of the 26-year-old ex-partner, recognizing him immediately before both attackers fled the area.
