A minor passenger sustained injuries following a confrontation with a minibus driver in Nizhny Tagil, according to E1 reports. The incident occurred at the Krasnogvardeets stop, where witnesses say a young girl had paid her fare, prepared to exit the vehicle, and was then confronted by the driver. The driver allegedly attacked her and yelled insults, after which the victim fell to the ground, hitting her head as a result.
What began at the stop extended into the street, where the girl described the assailant tearing her jacket and bag and damaging her passport in the ensuing scuffle. The victim expressed confusion about what provoked such violent behavior from the driver, saying she cannot understand the reason behind his anger.
The woman contacted law enforcement, and an official investigation has been opened. Authorities are currently working to clarify all circumstances surrounding the incident and determine the sequence of events that led to the altercation.
In related coverage, reports indicate a separate incident in Chelyabinsk where shots were fired at the window of a minibus carrying children nearby, suggesting a broader context of dangerous activity affecting transit routes in the area. These events are being reviewed by investigators to assess risks to public safety and to identify any possible connections between separate incidents.
