In St. Petersburg, an incident involved a member of the SVO who was assaulted after commenting on a car parked illegally. This information comes from a Telegram channel reporting on local police activity.
The account says a man affiliated with the SVO was walking along the sidewalk when he noticed a Lexus partially obstructing the sidewalk. Two individuals were nearby, and what began as a heated verbal exchange escalated into a physical confrontation after the man admonished them. The pedestrian was struck and kicked, and the assailants fled the scene after the beating. The victim then contacted authorities to report the incident.
Video footage appears to show the disagreement starting on the sidewalk before moving into the roadway. The SVO participant received punches and kicks, and at one point was knocked to the asphalt. The attackers departed quickly but were later detained by police officers in a nearby area.
A criminal case has been opened under the charge of hooliganism in connection with the fight. Details about injuries sustained by the SVO member were not disclosed in the report.
Separately, a traffic disruption occurred in the Novgorod region when a collision led to a temporary halt of vehicle movement along a stretch of the M-11 Neva highway toward Moscow. The incident left several people injured and caused travel delays for motorists in the area.
In a different, lighter note, a report from Noginsk notes a cat seeking refuge from a car service crew and ending up using a Porsche’s restroom facilities.
