An armed man took a dozen hostages at a bank in Georgia's second-largest city of Kutaisi on Tuesday, demanding a large sum of money, officials said.
The Black Sea nation's interior ministry said the suspect was holed up at a Bank of Georgia branch in the town of around 150,000 people in central Georgia.
“For the moment, there are 12 hostages in the building,“ it added in a statement.
The ministry said police had deployed to the bank to resolve the crisis.
An investigation was opened into a “terrorist act, hostage-taking and illegal possession of firearms”, the ministry added.
A female hostage is heard saying: “His demand is two million dollars within three hours. He has a hand grenade and there are bombs which will explode.”
