A Russian-Armenian journalist is in hospital after being lured out of his home and stabbed 20 times late on Monday night in the latest attack on a member of the press, the Guardian reported.
Sergei Aslanyan, 46, works for Radio Mayak and spent 10 years as a presenter on Echo Moskvy, Russia’s leading liberal radio station.
Police sources said Aslanyan received a call from an unknown number just before midnight, inviting him outside for a chat. After leaving his home in southern Moscow, he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest, neck and arms by a man, or several men, wielding a knife.
“The victim has been hospitalised, his life is not in danger,” a police source told the Itar-Tass news agency.
