As the man told law enforcers, he was driving along Tevcru Antia Avenue around half past 7 p.m. At some point, he heard a noise, then the driver’s side window shattered, and then he saw a large motorcycle that had previously been parked near a gas station drive away.

Seven bullets were fired at the victim’s car, but he himself was unhurt.
