A Russian man tried to rob a Chinese man threatening the latter with a sport gun but was detained to find out he had attacked a police officer, Russian police officials said Wednesday.

The Russian man, whose name was not revealed by Blagoveshchensk police press service, approached the Chinese citizen near Teatralnaya Street in Blagoveshchensk. Threatening his victim with a sport gun, he tried to seize the man’s business case.
