In Chelyabinsk, a driver struck a drunk pedestrian who was crossing the street at a red light. This account comes from a Telegram channel known as Emergency News Agency and is supported by footage circulating online describing the incident.
The confrontation occurred at the intersection of Komsomolsky Prospekt and Voroshilov Street. The pedestrian had crossed part of the way and paused on a safety island when another vehicle halted nearby. At that moment, the driver of a passing car stepped forward, aimed a forceful blow at the pedestrian’s face, and delivered a severe strike.
Following the blow, the man collapsed, striking his head on the cobblestones and lying on the roadway as onlookers from other vehicles rushed to assist. Emergency responders were alerted, and bystanders tended to the injured person while awaiting medical help.
The assailant driver was detained by police, and the status of the injured pedestrian remained unclear at the time of reporting. The incident underscores the precarious intersection of road safety, intoxication, and improvised street justice.
Earlier in the week, a separate event was reported in Yekaterinburg where a man allegedly set a car on fire after it was parked incorrectly, resulting in the Lada Vesta’s complete destruction.
In another brief update from Voronezh, authorities investigated a case in which a woman was accused of carrying a man on the roof of her Cadillac, a scene that prompted questions about vehicle handling and passenger safety.
Across these incidents, the common thread remains the volatility of urban roads and the critical need for clear, lawful responses to dangerous or unlawful behavior. Authorities advised caution for drivers and pedestrians alike and urged witnesses to report emergencies promptly.
