A citizen of Tajikistan was brutally beaten in Russia

In Volgograd, three young men brutally beat a migrant. Terrifying footage was published a few days ago. The video shows three local residents violently attacking the migrant — they struck him in the face and body with their hands, feet, and even a hammer on his kneecaps, aiming to break his legs and incapacitate him.

Social media users report that the victim was a citizen of Tajikistan. In one of the grocery stores located in the Krasnoarmeysky district, a 34-year-old customer noticed that a group of young people was stealing goods. He then admonished them and asked them not to steal food.

The three Russian young men reacted extremely aggressively to the remark. When the man left the store, they attacked him. Bystanders recorded the brutal beating on video.

The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Volgograd region confirmed the occurrence of the incident. However, the police cited a different reason for what happened: the man admonished the young people because they were in conflict with the store employees.

“Police officers identified the participants in the conflict: they turned out to be underage residents of the Krasnoarmeysky district. An investigation is underway, and a procedural decision will be made based on the results,” the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Volgograd region reported.

It is still unknown in what condition the victim is. The Embassy of Tajikistan in Russia has not yet commented on the incident.
