"When I started shouting they dumped me into a hole. One of he attackers whose face I could make out quite well followed me but after hitting him in panic he asked me to calm down telling he would save me. All of a sudden I saw strangers above offering help. They pulled me out and the stranger promising me to save left the spot with a slow pace," Shorena Karchava recollects.
