What happened to bus route number 752

This story is being retold on the Internet as a joke. Although, in our opinion, it's not funny enough. On January 5 this year in Moscow, the driver of a passenger bus did not give way to a Mercedes ML 500 limousine. The policemen entered the passenger compartment of the bus and beat the driver, who, in self-defence, struck several blows with a tire iron on the face of one of the attackers. Then the bus driver tried to leave the scene of the conflict, but one of the Chechen policemen opened fire with a Stechkin pistol.

Officially, nothing has been clarified in this story. The officers on duty at the Troparevo-Nikulino police department laughed almost out loud: “We don’t remember anything at all! Call ZAO, they remember there. The officers on duty at the ATC of the ZAO hysterically denied: “Yes, we have nothing to do with it at all!” - and advised to hammer "Troparevo".

As a result, one of the policemen agreed to talk to us anonymously, “without any, God forbid, references to me!”. (Which, of course, is surprising. We are not talking about the mafia - about the police.)

“The driver was driving a bus no. 752. Somewhere at the crossroads someone didn't yield to someone. This is a matter of culture, traffic police after all. But not the same! Do not shoot!.. The court will blame, but the driver and passenger of the Mercedes were not in a peaceful mood. They drove to the next bus stop, waited for this bus, entered the salon, and began to sort things out with the driver. I don't know what the driver answered them. There was a scuffle, the driver was pulled out into the street. He grabbed the mount - well, you know, two men, and he alone. He broke the jaw of one, they also crushed him. Then the driver jumped into the salon, closed the doors. And through the closed door, one of the Chechens opened fire on the driver with a Stechkin pistol. Fired 7 bullets. The driver, of course, was very lucky: one bullet hit his leg - and nothing more! There were people in the cabin, so they fell on the floor, somehow took cover.

The passengers called an ambulance and the police. An immediate response group of the Troparevo-Nikulino police department arrived. And here the shooters got their crusts. The policemen did not pay attention to the crusts: “Here Moscow is not mountains, and the driver is not a militant.”

The driver was hospitalized. “And these colleagues… One with a broken cheekbone was taken to the 31st hospital, the other was taken under heavy escort to the Nikulinsky prosecutor’s office: when a policeman opens fire like this, this is the jurisdiction of the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor's office immediately took away all the protocols from the operatives and released the shooter into the wild. And his comrade from the 31st hospital was transferred to no one knows where - now we don’t even know if a criminal case has been opened!”

However, the policemen forgot the names of the victim and the Chechens even in an informal conversation. But we were able to establish the names of some of the participants in the events. In particular, the name of the driver who fell under the gun is Mikhail Porshnev, he works in the 14th bus depot in Moscow.

Mikhail entered the Research Institute. Sklifosovsky on January 5 with a gunshot wound to the shin. He was operated on and transferred to the second trauma department. “The patient was under constant guard. It was guarded around the clock by two police officers - in shifts. This is so that he is not finished off with us, ”said one of the employees of the Sklifosovsky Research Institute. “It’s, they say, there were Kadyrovites, and he smashed his head to one.” More than a physician did not answer a single question: "I already told you more than I could."

The 14th bus depot, where Mikhail worked, greeted us warily. Two guards immediately blocked us on the passageway, while their boss called the authorities. The authorities conferred for some time, then called back: “Unfortunately, they cannot receive you. Go to Mosgortrans, there is nothing for you to do here.”

However, the guard clarified: “We have an order not to let anyone in on the issue of shooting.” As a result, the security of the bus depot did not even allow our photojournalist to take pictures of the general plan - they shouted and waved their fists.

On January 15, a short course of treatment for Mikhail Porshnev was completed, the bus driver was discharged. We have not been able to locate the actual whereabouts of the shooters. They must be going somewhere...
