A man was shot and rushed to hospital on Wednesday night after allegedly trying to disarm a security guard at the Russian embassy in Harare, witnesses said.
Police were called to the embassy on Fife Avenue at around 8PM following reports of a shooting.
Officers arrived to find a man lying on the ground after being shot at least once.
A neighbour said: “There was a sound of gunfire and we all rushed outside. Not long after there were emergency vehicles with sirens and the scene was quite crowded.
