The 31-year-old mother apologises to Sali Berisha: He Has Mental Health Problems

She urged politicians not to exploit this event as political.

His mother underlined that her son is not a fan of any political party and apologised to Sali Berisha for the act her son performed today.

His son's disaster is not to be used by the police. He was a biker, he was delivering pizza. He has no friends, no friends to deal with. Absolutely not used. He had different problems. There was absolutely no political sympathy. It's not even going to vote. I don't know why he went to protest today. I apologize to the one who shot him, Mr. President. Berisha. I don't want a political party to deal with his problems. I'm so sorry to deal with the disaster”, his mother said.

Gerti Shehu, 31, attacked DP leader Sali Berisha's late Tuesday, while the latter was marching towards “Nation witnesses” to take part in the protest.

The 31-year-old punched Berisha in the face, bleeding. It was immediately stopped by Berisha's bodyguards, and already violated by DP supporters and sympathies.

The 31-year-old was accompanied by police and is currently receiving treatment at Trauma Hospital, as there are facial injuries and nose fractures.

Officers have twice tried to question the young man, but because of his state of health, he has given no evidence so far. The 31-year-old is suspected of suffering from mental health problems. /Euronews albana
