In the Karachay-Cherkessian Republic (KChR), a policeman and a "Rosgvardia" (Russian National Guard) serviceman were stabbed and received gunshot wounds while trying to check the driver's documents; two attackers managed to escape.

The law enforcers approached the car to check the drivers' documents; there were two men inside the car, who answered with foul language, says the website of KChR's Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA). Then, the driver stabbed the policeman; and one of the passengers fired a rifle at the "Rosgvardia" serviceman.

The attackers have been identified; and measures are taken to detain them, law enforcers have informed. According to the information in the Telegram channel "NCFD Telegraph", the incident occurred in the village of Uchkeken.
