In St. Petersburg, a car passenger fired multiple rounds at a pedestrian, according to reports from the Telegram channel Mash on Moika. The incident drew immediate attention as authorities began a formal response to the reported assault.
A witness described a tense moment in Kolpino where a man described as nervous, driving a Lada, allegedly approached a passerby with a firearm. The assailant did not injure vitally; the victim only sustained a hole in his jacket. Police quickly activated an intervention plan to locate the attacker, signaling a swift law enforcement response to the disturbance.
Investigators noted that the victim had previously filed a complaint regarding the incident. Clothing bearing holes and traces of gunpowder was collected as potential evidence. A criminal case under the charge of hooliganism was opened, though the reasons behind the confrontation were not disclosed in the initial updates. This sequence of events underscores the strain of random violence on public spaces and the steps authorities take to restore safety in urban areas. (Source: Mash on Moika)
In another report from the Novokuznetsk district of the Kemerovo region, law enforcement detained a 32-year-old man connected to a transport disruption. The individual had allegedly boarded a bus intending to return home, but an accident occurred during the ride. The court subsequently sentenced him to 14 days in prison for driving under the influence and operating a vehicle without a license. A criminal case was also opened for theft connected to the incident, illustrating how one episode can trigger multiple legal considerations and charges within the regional judicial system.
