An Armenian citizen was beaten in Moscow

On the night of September 28-29, 2005, in the Yuzhnoportovy district of Moscow on Melnikov Street, a group of teenagers severely beat a native of Armenia. The unconscious victim was taken to the hospital. Doctors fear for his life.

On suspicion of involvement in the crime, a few hours later, seven people were detained - five young men and two girls. Almost all suspects are minors. The signs of the intruders were described by a witness of the beating.

Investigators do not rule out that the attack was motivated by "ethnic hatred."

Pants and boots of one of the suspects can become material evidence of a crime. They found traces of blood. Now things of the young man are on examination.
