Safety Alert: Reported Knife Incident In Rossiyskiy Sparks Calls for Vigilance
A report circulating on a Telegram channel describes an incident in which a man armed with a knife pursued a primary school student. The family of the girl in Rossiyskiy, Krasnodar, provided the details, but authorities have not independently verified the information at this time.
The events are said to have taken place the day before in the village of Rossiyskiy. A 10-year-old girl walking home from school was chased by a man who caught up to her near the entryway of a multi-storey building on Second Tverskaya Street. The assailant brandished a knife as she sought safety, narrowly preventing her entry before she could reach a doorway.
Inside the building, the child reached the entrance hall, yet the pursuer did not abandon the pursuit. He attempted to force his way into the doorway using the knife, but failed to gain access. Security footage captured the moment before the assailant fled the scene.
Officials noted that the girl’s parents chose not to file a police report at this time, with reasons not publicly explained. These decisions are being reviewed in light of the reported circumstances and community concerns.
There are other reports indicating a separate earlier incident in which a man previously known in the Krasnoyarsk Territory chased children in a residential entrance, suggesting a pattern of similar behavior across regions. Authorities are examining whether this represents a broader risk to child safety and public spaces.
Local leaders emphasize the importance of reporting suspicious activity promptly and ensuring children are accompanied by a trusted adult when traveling through neighborhoods. Residents are encouraged to review security around homes, reinforce door and entryway protection, and remain vigilant in light of these reports. Community members are advised to observe nearby surroundings, share any additional information with local authorities, and support preventive safety measures in neighborhoods.
