The suspects have fled the scene in a stolen police car, the Dagestani Interior Ministry has said
A group of gunmen has attacked a police patrol car in Makhachkala, the capital of Russia's Dagestan Republic, killing at least three officers, local authorities said on Monday.
The assailants stole a police vehicle and fled the scene, the regional Interior Ministry said, citing preliminary information. At least two suspects were killed during the attack, TASS reported, citing the ministry.
Footage circulating online shows a police SUV with a uniformed officer lying motionless on the ground by the vehicle. A man armed with a large knife is seen inspecting the car, while another person in civilian clothing, presumably one of the attackers, is seen lying on the ground and taking aim with a shortened AK-pattern rifle. A wounded police officer can be seen trying to take cover in the background.
