Arsic, 24, was wounded at around 1700 hours on Tuesday when he was standing with a friend outside his yard gate.
Meanwhile, Jovica Miric and brothers Ivan and Igor Trajkovic were assaulted in Lipljan just before midnight on Tuesday.
The three young Serbs were ambushed by a group of ethnic Albanians outside Miric's house. The perpetrators launched the attack with bats and poles. The victims have been taken to the hospital in Gracanica and the case has been reported to the police.
