[Regnum] Law enforcement officers detained teenagers who beat up a Vladimir Lenin lookalike on a playground in Saint Petersburg. The city police published footage of the young men trying to explain the reasons for their behavior on their Telegram channel on August 15.
Law enforcement officers began searching for those involved in the beating after they found a video on the Internet on August 13 showing a group of boys beating a man. The incident took place near house No. 48 on Kosciuszko Street. One of the young men struck the victim when he was walking towards him. The man tried to strike back, but at that moment another teenager struck him in the head from behind.
The victim fell onto a nearby carousel, and then, getting up, tried to catch up with the new offender, but was immediately kicked in the back by a third young man. After that, the teenager who started the beating came up and knocked out his opponent with a punch to the jaw.
The victim was a 54-year-old resident of St. Petersburg. The police managed to detain two participants in the beating. They were a 14-year-old eighth-grader and a 13-year-old seventh-grader. In the video published by the police, they said that the man allegedly asked them for money, and when they refused, he swore at them and got into a fight.
“One of the teenagers was detained under Article 91 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the second, after questioning, was handed over to his legal representatives, who were brought to administrative responsibility under Article 5.35 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation,” the police reported.
The remaining participants in the brawl are being sought. The city's Investigative Committee has opened a criminal case on hooliganism committed by a group of people.
“A set of investigative actions is being carried out aimed at establishing all the circumstances, causes and conditions of the incident,” the department said in a statement.
Earlier, a mass brawl between teenagers took place in Tyumen. The young people first swore, and then began to use force. One of the participants lost consciousness from a strong blow. Another was caught and knocked down when he tried to escape, and they continued to hit him while he was lying on the ground. The police have launched an investigation into the incident.
