In the central area of Tula, a confrontation over parking escalated into a physical assault as a man attacked a female driver. Surveillance footage released by a television channel captured the incident, showing a man dressed in a dark jacket and carrying a briefcase as he obstructed a vacant parking spot that the driver was attempting to claim. The car eventually managed to enter the parking area, and when the woman exited the vehicle, the man moved closer, forcibly removing her hat. The woman responded with a blow, and he retaliated by striking her and banging his head against the car. A child was present inside the vehicle during the altercation.
A passerby intervened and managed to separate the two parties, bringing the incident to a pause. Afterward, the victim sought medical attention at a hospital, where she was assessed in the neurosurgery department. Preliminary information suggests the assailant intended to secure the parking space for a court bailiff. The incident prompted the local police to open an administrative case, with authorities identifying those involved.
Earlier reports indicated the involvement of traffic police inspectors in St. Petersburg, along with a separate incident described as a fire at a fast-food counter. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the confrontation and its broader context, including the motivations behind the dispute and the sequence of actions taken by all parties involved.
