There was a threat, that people like me could not go through this city alone

They wanted a fight and wanted to physically attack us, this was their aim because of their political views, how you dare, you talk about the king, how dare you curse the king- Khatuna Samnidze recounts the details of the attack on him and Davit Berdzenishvili on the Mtavari Channel.

According to Samnidze, he and Davit Berdzenishvili were walking along Rustaveli Avenue after a press conference, during which they were attacked by two men. One of them also had a stick:

"Dato Berdzenishvili and I arrived at Rustaveli after the press conference and what happened was clearly political in nature. I am not a person to exaggerate and I am sure of what I am saying. Two people came. one of them, was actively participating in violent rallies.

At first they started talking, when they started to talk aggressively about political views, we tried to leave, but it didn't work. They started chasing, insulting, swearing, threatening, you can't walk alone in this country without protection, he was with a stick, he rushed out and got physical with Dato, I got in the middle, I was also hit, there was danger of bodily harm. There was definitely an intention to fight. I too moved on to the next resistance, I called for police patrol and they said that they were not afraid of the police patrol at all.

I shouted and asked for someone to call the police. Then they came to me personally with insults. Then I managed to cross to the other side, I called the police, they kept shouting insults even in front of the patrolmen, wouldn't get into the car and threatened me. " Khatuna Samnidze said.
