Two young men were hospitalised after they wounded each other in a clash on Batumi's Old Boulevard, Interpressnews reported.
Law enforcement said the fight took place on the seaside promenade in Adjara's regional capital. Both participants were injured and taken to a clinic, where they remain under police control.
How the clash unfolded
The incident began as a verbal argument, according to the agency. During the exchange, one of the men wounded the other with glass shards. The second man then used a knife.
The fight that followed left both men hurt. They were taken to a medical clinic for treatment. Officials have not released names, ages, or the exact time of the confrontation.
Old Boulevard is part of Batumi's main seaside walk, used through the day by residents and visitors. A violent clash in that public space is handled as a serious injury case, not a private quarrel.
Criminal case opened
Georgia's Ministry of Internal Affairs has opened a criminal investigation under Article 120 of the Criminal Code, which covers the intentional infliction of grievous bodily harm.
Both men remain under the control of law enforcement while they receive hospital care. Investigators will establish the sequence of the fight, the weapons used, and whether the injuries meet the legal threshold for that charge.
No further official update on additional counts or a court date has been released.
