According to doctor Giorgi Akhobadze, he was attacked at the airport. As he states in a video posted on social media, the people who assaulted him introduced themselves as police officers.

“A late-model black Prado followed me from the airport. Some guys jumped out, saying, ‘we’re from the police, there’s an event going on,’ and opened the door and physically assaulted me. They are either guys sent by Lasha Baslandze’s friends or they themselves. They are terrorists. They stopped a taxi in the middle of the road, in the middle of the city, they introduced themselves as police officers and started physically assaulting us. Of course, no one will investigate this,” said Giorgi Akhobadze.
