The family members of an elderly Armenian man who was stabbed have exacted revenge upon the suspect in a hospital in Vladikavkaz, Russia—and right before the eyes of law enforcement officers, the Baza Telegram channel reported.

At midnight, taxi driver Sergey Grigoryan, 79, had taken passenger Murad Osmanov, 35. An argument started between them on the way, because of which the young man stabbed the elderly man in the stomach with a knife.

The taxi driver was taken to hospital in severe condition, and the attacker was apprehended and taken to the same medical institution, as his hand was injured.

The relatives of the old man also came to the hospital. His grandson saw the attacker in the corridor, approached him and hit him in the leg and back right before the eyes of the police.

The doctors provided first aid to the young man.

But while Osmanov was waiting at the hospital reception, the old man's son hit him in the chest and stomach. Then another relative of the old man shot the young man several times with a gun. A police officer was able to render this man ineffective.

But the stabbing suspect could not be saved; he died at the intensive care unit—and from the injuries he sustained.

Now the law enforcement officers are investigating the circumstances of what happened.
