An unidentified individual allegedly attacked a first-year student in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. CCTV footage reportedly did not capture any trace of the suspect at the scene, according to a news agency report cited by West24, referencing the press service of the city’s Ministry of Internal Affairs. The report notes that the incident occurred in the evening in a microdistrict of Achinsk, when a man confronted a girl who was returning home with her older sister. The first-grader observed a man approaching and, as a result, separated from her sister and lost the chance to call for help.
Witnesses say the assailant shouted at the girl, struck her in the face, and then fled the area. The next morning, the boy’s mother filed a statement with the police. The first-year student described the attacker as tall with a distinctive long nose.
Forensic examination of the female student revealed no visible wounds. It was noted that she had suffered a jaw fracture two months earlier during a sports-related incident, for which she underwent surgery and remained in rehabilitation at the time of the alleged attack. Authorities continue to investigate in an effort to determine the exact circumstances and identify any clues related to the incident. Police patrols remain on the ground as investigators review available evidence and attempt to reconstruct the sequence of events.
Law enforcement officials showed photographs of female students to members of the public who have previously faced similar accusations. The girl did not acknowledge any of the suggested faces. Security camera footage from the microregion was also reviewed, and officials indicated that the video did not corroborate the description provided by the girl.
In a related note, previous reports indicate a separate incident in the Perm Territory where a schoolgirl fabricated a claim of having been assaulted, underscoring the need for careful verification in case assessments and media reporting. This underscores ongoing concerns about how such allegations are investigated and communicated to the public, and the importance of relying on verified evidence as authorities work to clarify what occurred in Achinsk.
