Three attacked a police officer and beat him.
The incident occurred in the “Globus” shopping center in the city of Shchyolkovo, Moscow region.
According to Russian media, three men were arguing with the security of the shopping center. An Interior Ministry officer witnessed the quarrel, approached, presented his documents, and demanded that they go outside.
The men refused. The verbal exchange escalated into a fight, and the three men beat the plainclothes police officer near the “Globus” shopping center.
The police officer used a traumatic pistol but was still beaten.
Almost immediately, one of the attackers was detained at the scene — he turned out to be a native of Tajikistan.
Later, the National Guard detained two more. A video of the detention also surfaced online. It is still unknown whether they were also natives of Tajikistan, but it is likely that they were from Tajikistan as well.
This incident has sparked a wave of concern on social media. Residents, especially labor migrants, expressed concern that law enforcement agencies in Russia would further intensify checks and interrogations, complicating the already difficult situation for migrants.
