time 5:25 p.m., the two Russian citizens Mikhail Zorin and Svetlana Timofeva are in the back of the mechanical plant of Gramsh, while the Ukrainian Fedir Alpatov is on the road with the "Chevrolet" type vehicle.
Timofeva and Zorin find an open part of the plant's enclosure at the back of it, approach it and unperturbed enter inside. The 33-year-old woman stops a few meters after entering the territory of the factory, while the 24-year-old Zorin follows the road until at one point he is spotted by two soldiers on guard.
The two Armed Forces officers approach and order the Russian citizen to leave the internal territory of the plant, but the 24-year-old strongly opposes them and runs away, crossing the perimeter wall, while one of the soldiers follows behind to stop him.
"The guard was chasing, he ran away, they clashed inside the territory, he was scared by the machine gun that the guard had on his side, he jumped from the wall and crossed some private fields and came out on a main road above the plant," said the witness.
Ushtari tjetër merr automjetin dhe del në rrugën e sipërme të uzinës për të ndjekur shtetasin rus që po largohej dhe i pret rrugën. Në ato momente shtetasi rus përplaset fizikisht me dy ushtarët dhe i sulmon me sprai paralizues në fytyrë dhe pjesë të tjera të trupit.
Në ndihmë të ushtarëve vijnë edhe banorë të zonës, të cilët ishin dëshmitarë okularë të asaj që ndodhi. Reagimi i menjëhershëm dhe profesional i dy ushtarëve si dhe ndihma e banorëve bënë të mundur neutralizimin e 24-vjeçarit rus.
"One of these guards showed himself to be a very resourceful boy that he would have run away, he took the car and followed him by car and blocked his way, if he had not followed him by car he could not have caught him. Where he was caught, I have my brothers' house and my sister-in-law calls me and tells me come on, they are being killed here in front of my gate", said the witness.
During the physical confrontation, the Ukrainian Fedir Alpatov was waiting for the Russian Svetlana Timofeva by car on the road below the factory, from where they left towards Cërrik, where they were stopped by the police.
"Goca ran away from the opposite side, came out on the main road and was picked up by a car. The children who had photographed the car came to the police's aid and told them this is the car and gave the photo to the police."
