A group of far-right extremists attacked employees and guests at a vegan cafe in the historic centre of Tbilisi on Sunday.

At least 15 assailants stormed into the small Kiwi Cafe in the Georgian capital and began hurling sausages, meat and fish at both staff and customers, according to witnesses.

The attackers were described by newspaper Georgia Today as radical ultra-nationalist Georgian Ultras.

In a statement issued by the cafe on their Facebook page the incident was described as "an anti-vegan provocative action" and called the attackers "neo-Nazis" who support "fascist ideas."
