Four Men Ambush, Rob and Shoot Man in the Leg

A 34-year-old man, identified by the initials M.G., was shot in the leg after a group of four unknown men attacked him on Smederevski Put. The attack happened around 1 a.m., and the case is now being handled by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade.

According to information obtained by Telegraf and carried by Alo and Espreso, the victim had just parted ways with a person he had been walking with when the group of four unknown men approached him on Smederevski Put.

What happened on Smederevski Put

The attackers demanded money from M.G. and then took his bag. The sources do not mention his wallet being taken or specify the exact amount of cash, only that the bag ended up in the attackers’ hands. He was knocked to the ground, where he was beaten with fists and kicks, and then a shot was fired. M.G. was hit in the leg.

He was treated at the Emergency Center and then transferred to the Banjica Institute for Orthopedics for further treatment.

When police went to the location the victim identified as the scene of the shooting, they found no traces of blood there. That raises the question of whether the attack actually happened exactly where it was reported. Several nearby buildings are covered by surveillance cameras, and footage from them should show whether the attack took place there and how it unfolded.

Where exactly the attack happened

Reports do not fully agree on this point. Alo and Espreso do not explicitly name a city in their articles, mentioning only Smederevski Put and noting that the case is being handled by the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade. Informer’s headline states that the attack took place in Smederevo, though the article itself also cites Smederevski Put as the location. Until the exact location is officially confirmed, these remain two different versions of the same event.

Police are searching for the attackers. The case falls under the jurisdiction of the Higher Public Prosecutor’s Office in Belgrade, which will determine, based on the crime scene investigation and camera footage, whether the robbery and shooting actually took place where the victim reported.

Espreso published its report on the case on August 22 at 10:45 p.m., and Alo published its article the following morning, on August 23 at 9:32 a.m.
