MOSCOW, April 21 (RIA Novosti) - A Chinese national is in a critical condition in a St. Petersburg hospital after being stabbed by an unknown assailant in Russia's second city, a police source said on Monday.
The man, who works for a local construction company, was stabbed in the stomach. An investigation into the attack is ongoing.
This year has seen a further rise in the number of attacks on foreigners in the city. Late last month a Ghanaian student was beaten and stabbed in the city center. In mid-March an Uzbek national was stabbed to death in St. Petersburg and another was found dead in the Leningrad Region.
