According to Moscow Now on Telegram, a man from Moscow attacked the barrier on Efremov Street in Kommunar, and the report describes him as aggressive. The broadcast notes that it is unclear what harm, if any, the barrier had caused him, leaving the motive puzzling and the incident open to interpretation by onlookers and local authorities. The report emphasizes the ambiguity of the event while confirming the action that took place near the Stroitel residential area.
Residents say this was not the first time a barrier has been targeted by people living nearby. They describe a pattern of confrontations around restricted entry points and express concern about public safety and the management of private access in their neighborhood.
The passenger involved had previously been intoxicated. After the ride, he did not pay the taxi fare and is said to have damaged the taxi driver’s car, a detail that complicates the sequence of events and raises questions about accountability in the incident.
Media reports place the incident in Kommunar on October 27. The intoxicated man rode a taxi to his home and, after arriving, refused to pay the fare and approached the Stroitel residential complex barrier, preventing it from opening to let the driver enter the territory.
Earlier, a woman driving in the Moscow region was recorded on video in a parking lot, an encounter that has circulated online and added to the broader discussion about security barriers and their impact on everyday commutes.
