ARMENIAN AND CHECHEN INJURED IN MECHELEN

Expatica, Netherlands
March 20 2007

BRUSSELS – Armenians and Chechens ended up fighting after a boxing
match in Mechelen in which an Armenian had won a match from a
Chechen. An 18-year-old Armenian was stabbed in the side with a knife.

The Chechens fled after the police was alerted. Half an hour later
one of them was found severely bleeding on the Koningin Astridlaan
in Mechelen. It turned out to be a 20-year-old Chechen who probably
got stabbed by the Armenians.

He was taken to hospital in critical condition. The public prosecution
office in Mechelen has requested an examining judge to investigate
the matter.
