The incident occurred on the evening of Wednesday, October 15, in the gym of Solea High School in the village of Evrychou.
According to police, a 33-year-old man, who was intoxicated, entered the premises where children's training was taking place and began to threaten the girls.
The coach intervened in time and, using his martial arts skills, took the offender out of the hall. Before fleeing, the man hit one of the teachers in the face.
The police quickly detained the suspect. He has been remanded in custody until a Nicosia court hearing on Thursday.
Local residents reported that the same man had already been spotted in the village in recent days. He harassed passers-by and caused concern among residents of the area.
