“A team of ambulance specialists arrived to a call to a patient in Minsk, and the patient attacked them with an ax. Now both paramedics are hospitalized,” the Belarusian Ministry of Health said in a statement.

The injured doctors are in moderate condition.

Earlier it was reported that on February 5, unknown men attacked a 16-year-old teenager, his girlfriend and a friend in the entrance. Local online groups wrote that the attackers came out of a pub next door and thought the schoolboy had an army star on his hat.
