In Ufa, Svetlana Mikheeva, head of gym No. 86, acted to shield a girl who faced an assault at a building entrance. The incident left the child deeply scared but without physical injuries, a fact Mikheeva confirmed, describing her own actions simply as concern rather than heroism. The young witness later stated she experienced fear and shock, not lasting harm, and Mikheeva noted she did not expect danger when she intervened.
On Telegram channel Baza, it was reported that a separate event had occurred nearby, involving an unidentified man who attacked a student at the doorway of a residential building near a school in Ufa. Security footage from an intercom system captured the moment the intruder entered the building following the girl, and the scene escalated into shouting from the entrance. Mikheeva, who was nearby, stepped forward to deter the attacker and alerted authorities, providing a visual account that documented the confrontation. The incident prompted continued pursuit as the assailant was followed and filmed by bystanders. (Source attribution: Telegram channel Baza)
Approximately ninety minutes later, the same man was seen approaching another woman on a different street, prompting screams and a swift escape by the suspect. Law enforcement reviewed the footage to identify and detain the individual, who was later identified as a 52-year-old homeless man with a prior conviction. He confessed to molesting the child during the earlier encounter. (Source attribution: Telegram channel Baza)
