The South Ossetian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will comment on the incident that happened involving Russian wrestlers on Monday, RIA Novosti reports.
Russian free-wrestlers opened unmotivated fire on the police in Tskhinvali.
The president of the Russian Free-Wrestling Federation, Mikhail Mamiashvili, said that the scandal is a provocation.
The Russian ambassador to South Ossetia, Elbrus Kargiyev, was invited to the South Ossetian Foreign Ministry to clarify the situation.
There is a video of a Russian coach making an offensive gesture from a black Mercedes and saying an insult in Ossetian. Attempts to block the street and other acts of hooliganism continued throughout day, ending up with a gunfight. Mikhail Mamiashvili and the former South Ossetian Defense Minister, Anatoly Barankevich, were in the vehicle.
A message on a South Ossetian online forum said that the car was stopped by special police forces.
