/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On August 16, about 6:30 p.m., two radicals aged
18-20 attacked 8th grade schoolchildren George Mukanyan (Armenian) and
Asambek Iznaurov (Chechen), both being Russian citizens and permanent
residents of Moscow. The attack took place in Street Polyarnaya,
Moscow, not far from "Polyarniy" cinema house, UAR press service
reported to PanARMENIAN.Net. "As confirmed by the aggrieved children,
the were quietly walking along the street when two men turned up and,
insulting their national identity, immediately assaulted them with
brass knuckles and an edge-tool. Thanks to the fact that both guys
go in for kickboxing, they managed to save their lives by giving
attackers an unexpected repulse. As a result of xenophobia attack,
George Manukyan received face injury and had to go to the traumatology
centre in Dekabrist street to have his cut stitched. Aslambek
also received a bodily damage. The incident was noticed by a police
patrol passing by. Attackers immediately escaped. Policemen ran after
criminals but didn’t manage to catch them. God knows what would have
happened hadn’t it been for the children’s firmness and policemen’s
vigilance," UAR says in a release.
