18 people hospitalized from Yerevan rally after brawling with police officers

18 people have been hospitalized in Yerevan’s St. Gregory The Illuminator Medical Center as a result of clashes between police forces and opposition MP Nikol Pashinyan’s crowd in Baghramyan Avenue earlier in the day. “The patients are being examined, they are all in stable condition. Most likely they won’t need surgical interventions. They will be discharged after being examined,” the medical center said.

Media reports said two police officers are also hospitalized.

Pashinyan himself also suffered injuries when the situation escalated in Baghramyan Avenue. He was treated for minor injuries and has already left the hospital.

Three police officers were hospitalized to the Nairi Medical Center, one of them being in serious condition.
