Attack on Congolese citizens on a minibus

On February 6, 2009, at about 20:00 in Moscow, in a fixed-route taxi, a passenger attacked employees of the embassy of the Republic of the Congo.

The reason for the attack was that 30 and 31-year-old Congolese, who were traveling along the Moscow Ring Road to Yasenevo in a taxi, spoke French among themselves. The attacker started insulting the foreigners and demanded that they speak Russian. After his demands were not met, the racist stabbed one of the natives of the Congo, Kazma Pushe, in the thigh and left the minibus.

The taxi driver called an ambulance and the police. The victim was hospitalized. The police department "Yasenevo" is investigating the incident.
