Turmoil in Nicosia as mobs clash over arrests
In Nicosia's divided sectors Turkish Cypriots attacked Greek districts and a central police station demanding the release of youths arrested for looting Greek stores. British troops with bayonets dispersed crowds as 200 protesting women entered the police station before tear gas ended the incursion. A Greek church was set afire, and a curfew was imposed after a day of rioting, looting, and arson. Police reported two Turkish constables arrested in a Greek district. A rumor of a submarine delivering arms north of the city circulated but remained unconfirmed. Sir Hugh Foot toured the walled city amid the unrest.
