On the evening of August 20, traffic police officers in Abkhazia stopped a vehicle in capital city Sukhumi.

The car was driven by Aynar Avidzba (born in 1992), reported Nasha (Our) Abkhazia.

Ethnic Armenian police officer Albert Zebelyan wrote a citation, which stated that the driver was driving the car without a mechanical-service-approval document. Avidzba did not object.

Zebelyan went off duty on Monday, and went home. But Avidzba and a stranger were waiting for him outside his home, and they brutally beat the Armenian police officer.

He sustained numerous injuries.

After receiving first aid, Albert Zebelyan was taken to hospital.
