MOSCOW, April 25 (RIA Novosti) - A Polish journalist
faces surgery on his jaw after becoming the victim of a road
rage attack in the Russian capital.
Polish TVN television correspondent Andrzej Zaucha was
crossing the road on a green light on Sunday evening near his
home in Moscow when a car nearly ran him over. Zaucha made a
comment to the driver, who then, along with two passengers,
exited the vehicle and beat him up.
"A black foreign-made car stopped right in front of me.
The driver wanted to go through the red light, but I did not
give way," Zaucha told police, adding that, "It seems that I
was beaten up just for walking across the road,"
Polish journalist Waclaw Radziwinowicz said that Zaucha,
who is also suffering from concussion, would be operated on on
Tuesday.
Zaucha does not believe the attack was tied to his
professional activities.
Police have begun a search for the attackers.
