A group of young Russians attacked a migrant with a knife in broad daylight.

The migrant, who works as a courier, was seriously injured, sustaining 8 stab wounds. He has been hospitalized.

On October 22, a source from Azda TV in Russia reported that the victim is Tajik migrant Kadriddin, a native of the Khatlon region. He is currently in the hospital following the group attack.

In a video obtained by Azda TV, the courier is seen approaching the entrance of a building with a bag in hand. He stands by the intercom camera when 3-4 masked individuals attack him from behind. They first sprayed a substance, presumably tear gas or pepper spray, towards the courier. After that, others began hitting him with an object, presumably a knife.

“The incident occurred in the Gorsky microdistrict of Novosibirsk on October 20. In addition to punches and kicks, the young Russians inflicted 8 stab wounds on him. Fortunately, the young man is alive and is currently in the hospital, and his health condition is stable,” the source reported.

The motives for the attack are unknown, but the source noted that recently masked young people have frequently attacked migrants, beating them.

Russian media reported that four teenagers have been detained on suspicion of the attack. According to the investigation, they agreed to find a person of non-Slavic appearance and steal valuable property from him, threatening him with pepper spray and a knife.

The Investigative Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation in Novosibirsk has opened a criminal case on charges of “robbery for the purpose of stealing someone else’s property, using violence dangerous to life or health by a group of persons by prior agreement,” and an investigation is underway.

Today, Marianna Glushkova, the press secretary of the Judicial Department of the Novosibirsk region, informed the media that 4 suspects in the case have been detained, three of whom are students in grades 8-10 of Novosibirsk schools, and one is a 16-year-old student from one of the colleges.

— By the court’s ruling on October 22, 2024, the investigator’s request has been granted: the 14-year-old defendant and two 15-year-old defendants have been placed under house arrest until December 20, 2024. The 16-year-old minor defendant has been ordered to be held in custody until December 20, 2024, — said the press secretary of the Judicial Department in the Novosibirsk region, Marianna Glushkova.
