In Voronezh, a confrontation between drivers ended with a knife incident and vehicle damage
A tense event occurred on a city street in Voronezh when a driver allegedly attacked the hood of a deaf-mute driver’s car with a knife. The moment was captured on video and later circulated by a local broadcaster, raising questions about road safety and the use of force in traffic disputes. The incident reportedly involved two vehicles, with the aggressor driving a foreign-made car and the victim in a Lada Granta. The altercation began as the Volkswagen driver refused to yield a lane reserved for public transport as the deaf-mute driver attempted to rejoin traffic from a restricted lane. The assailant, it is claimed by associates of the injured driver, decided to “teach him a lesson” and struck the hood with a knife. In the process, a door handle on the back door was damaged before the aggressor fled the scene.
The injured driver promptly contacted local police to report the incident. It was noted that the response from authorities took several hours, with streamlining and coordination expected to be a priority for the investigation. In Voronezh, law enforcement officials confirmed the occurrence of the event on the date of May 26 and indicated that investigators are actively pursuing the case. The regional internal affairs ministry emphasized ongoing inquiries to identify the suspect and determine the motive behind the attack, as well as to assess any potential additional factors involved in the confrontation.
Elsewhere, a separate traffic incident in Mytishchi was reported, where a BMW reportedly veered onto the pavement and collided with pedestrians, leaving two individuals in serious condition. This incident underscores broader concerns about pedestrian safety and driver responsibility on urban roads. Local authorities continue to investigate both events to understand the circumstances, prevent recurrence, and ensure accountability for any criminal actions that may have occurred. Reports from broadcasters and police statements help keep the public informed while investigations proceed, acknowledging that details may evolve as inquiries unfold. — TV State
