An 18-year-old suspect in Moscow has been accused of injuring a passerby and a Federal Penitentiary Service official during a confrontation that occurred on the evening of May 17. The incident unfolded at a Moscow apartment on Klenov Avenue, where the individual was reportedly under court-ordered house arrest as part of a criminal case being managed by the authorities. When a PKU inspector arrived to verify the defendant’s location, the young man allegedly stabbed the inspector in the neck and abdomen before fleeing the scene.
The PKU representative was transported to a city hospital for medical treatment following the attack. The incident prompted the launch of an additional criminal case against the suspect, this time under the charge of assault against a law enforcement officer with lethal consequences implied by the accusation. The ongoing investigation is being handled by the appropriate regional authorities, who are collecting evidence and interviewing witnesses to determine the full sequence of events and to assess any related factors that may have influenced the outbreak of violence.
Earlier reporting indicated that the suspect was in Dagestan prior to the incident. It is noted that another individual, a resident of Makhachkala, was previously involved in a separate violent case in which two women were killed and a police officer was attacked. Officials emphasize that the current case is being pursued with strict adherence to the law and standard procedures for handling cases involving violence against law enforcement personnel.
The authorities did not release additional details about the current state of the suspect following the incident. Officials may provide further updates as the investigation advances, including the exact nature of the injuries, the status of the hospital treatment, and any additional charges that may be filed as a result of new evidence uncovered during the inquiry. The case continues to be monitored by the regional justice system and public safety agencies, with safety considerations for residents in the area being prioritized during the investigation process.
Source notes indicate that the information comes from the press office of the metropolitan internal security service, which reported the events and the immediate medical response. The case underscores ongoing concerns about incidents involving defendants under house arrest and the challenges faced by law enforcement when verifying home confinement conditions and ensuring the safety of officers in the field. The authorities reiterate their commitment to a transparent, lawfully conducted inquiry and to keeping the public informed as facts emerge and proceedings unfold.
