According to SHAMSHYAN.com, on September 15, 67-year-old Aramais Badalyan passed away at Astghik Medical Center without regaining consciousness. As reported by photojournalist Gagik Shamshyan, he had been transferred to the medical center on August 25 after being stabbed by 41-year-old Arman Yeghiazaryan behind the Bora restaurant complex in the Malatia-Sebastia administrative district. On that day, other residents of Yerevan were also hospitalized: 23-year-old Erik Simonian and 26-year-old Tigran Grigoryan.

As previously reported from the scene by the photojournalist, a brawl and stabbing occurred in Yerevan on August 25. Around 00:25, the Malatia police department received a call about citizens being stabbed behind the Bora restaurant complex on Tichina Street. Rapid response teams from the second battalion's third platoon of the Yerevan patrol police, led by Battalion Commander Levon Badalyan, quickly arrived on the scene.

The police discovered the injured individuals: 67-year-old Aramais Badalyan, 23-year-old Erik Simonian, and 26-year-old Tigran Grigoryan in the area. The Yerevan 1-03 emergency medical team promptly transported the injured patients to Astghik Medical Center.

Several citizens gathered at the scene refused to speak on camera, stating, “To be honest, we don’t know the circumstances, who and who carried out the stabbings. We only saw the Yerevan police officers pulling out bandages from their vehicles and rushing to the injured.” The patrol officers from the second battalion's third platoon, Garegin Madatyan and Hrayr Sanosyan, arrived quickly. They bandaged the wounded and provided first aid before assisting in transporting them to the ambulances.

Additional police presence followed shortly after the initial response. The investigative team from the Malatia-Sebastia investigative division of the Yerevan Investigative Committee, led by Head Hrachya Ghazaryan and senior investigator Mikayel Baghdasaryan specializing in prominent cases, arrived on-site as well.
