In St. Petersburg’s Pushkinsky district, an incident involving a traffic violation led to a car being set ablaze. This information comes from the Telegram channel of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
A 40-year-old resident of a neighboring country owned a Toyota and reported that his vehicle malfunctioned. He had pulled over using the emergency signal. Two men in an Opel Astra confronted him for not displaying the emergency signal properly, reportedly reacting harshly to his response. The report states that the two Opel drivers then attacked the Toyota driver, produced a can of gasoline, doused the Japanese car, and set it on fire. Authorities later apprehended the perpetrators, who were local residents described as an entrepreneur and a warehouse manager. A criminal case was opened under the charge of causing damage to another person’s property.
Earlier, in Domodedovo, an incident involving drug dealers on bicycles escalated when they shot at a police officer and fled. Two law enforcement officers, a captain and a major from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were patrolling a forest belt near Lunnaya Street in the afternoon on June 5. They observed two suspicious men on bicycles who appeared to be discarding items into the underbrush. When the officers asked for a voluntary surrender of the suspected drugs, one cyclist pulled a gun, fired three times at the officer, and both suspects fled the scene. The officer sustained gunshot wounds to the shoulder and back and was taken to a local hospital for treatment. Law enforcement agencies distributed descriptions of the suspects to patrol units across the region.
In a separate note, two individuals were reported injured when a paddy wagon overturned in Moscow, an incident that added to a string of tense encounters with law enforcement in the area. More details from official channels continue to emerge as investigations proceed and more information becomes available from ongoing police reports across the capital and surrounding regions.
