Georgian Interior Minister makes first comment on Bank of Georgia attack

Georgian Interior Minister Vakhtang Gomelauri has made the first comment on the recent Bank of Georgia attack. 

The minister has refused to expand on the robber's identity; however, he mentioned that the attacker is a citizen of Georgia. 

''As far as I am concerned, the man hails from Georgia's Kakheti region. I wish to thank our staff members and the bank employees, citizens who were inside the building. They carried out the operation perfectly well and avoided bloodshed. 

We made all-out efforts to arrest the man without doing him any harm. 

He demanded different amounts from half a million to a million. 

We have not met any demand of his; we just caught him,'' the Interior Minister said. 

Gomelauri attended witness questioning.

LEOs arrested the bank of Georgia assailant around an hour and a half ago. 

Earlier, hostages left the bank building, with one of them falling sick.

A gunman broke into a Kvareli branch of Bank of Georgia at around 15:30 today.

The MIA of Georgia has issued a statement saying that all measures are being taken to tackle the issue.
