Two teenagers were detained in Chelyabinsk after a disturbing incident near a passing car. Surveillance shows they made an obscene gesture at the driver, engaged him in a scuffle, and then seized the vehicle by grabbing the keys that had slipped from his pocket. Information about the episode was shared through the Telegram channel of the regional Ministry of Internal Affairs, providing a concise account of the events as they unfolded that day.
According to the police report, the driver, who was passing the Komsomolskaya Square stop, witnessed the pair making a vulgar gesture toward him. After stopping his car near a residence on Gorky Street, where he initially intended to continue, the driver reportedly attempted to settle the matter directly with the strangers in front of him, hoping for a peaceful resolution. What followed was a confrontation that quickly escalated beyond the driver’s control.
The confrontation gave way to a physical struggle. The car’s owner, who later went back to his home, found that his vehicle had become a focal point of the dispute. During the clash, the two assailants, described as being born in 1995 and 1996, took advantage of the moment to grab the keys to a Volkswagen Golf and drive off with the car, leaving the owner to deal with the aftermath of the night’s chaos. Police subsequently received a report of a vehicle theft and managed to stop the suspected car in traffic, leading to the detention of the two individuals involved. In addition to the car, investigators found that the assailants had taken 3,000 rubles from the car owner’s bag. A formal legal procedure has been initiated against the suspect who was caught driving, and further actions are expected as the case proceeds.
Earlier in Chelyabinsk, there were reports of another concerning incident involving a minibus driver who allegedly carried passengers while under the influence of drugs. This previous episode has been noted by local authorities as part of a broader pattern that authorities and residents are watching closely. The regional police have indicated that they will continue to monitor the situation, emphasize safety measures for drivers and pedestrians, and pursue any individuals who engage in threats, theft, or reckless behavior on the city streets. The public is urged to stay alert and report similar disturbances to the police promptly.
