Mass brawl in Moscow

August 8, 2009 in the evening in Moscow near the metro station "Kolomenskaya" there was a mass brawl involving about 40 people. Unlike the media, which broadcast a version of the planned fight of informal groups, witnesses describe what is happening as an attack by neo-Nazis on informals.

The participants in the fight used broken bottles, sticks, knives and brass knuckles. One of the participants sprayed gas from a can. As a result, at least six people were injured and were hospitalized.

Eyewitnesses of the incident called the police, but law enforcement officers did not have time to do anything. Most of the participants in the clash fled into the subway.

On August 8, a picnic of the Afisha magazine was held near the Kolomenskaya metro station in the museum-reserve, during which a concert was held with the participation of various musical groups, which brought together a large number of informal youth.
