Attacks on Africans in Moscow

Since the beginning of 2010, there have been at least 9 attacks on black people in Moscow.

In early January 2010, on the Sokolnicheskaya metro line, an unidentified man armed with a pistol threatened to kill an African student and demanded: "Get out to Africa." After the car stopped at one of the metro stations, the attacker fled.

On January 21, 2010, near the Chistye Prudy metro station, three young men beat a citizen of the Congo and fled. Passers-by called an ambulance. The African was helped, 4 stitches were put on his lip. He did not apply to the police, because he did not remember the signs of young people. The attack was committed without obvious reasons, the victim did not lose anything.

On February 14, 2010, near Belyaevo metro station, three young men (appearing to be 20-26 years old) insulted and then attacked an Ivorian citizen and his friend. The police officers who arrived at the scene detained the attackers, who, according to eyewitnesses, became the initiators of the conflict. The African did not apply to the police with a statement.

On February 14, 2010, in one of the electric trains in the Kazan direction of the railway (on the Bykovo-Ramenskoye section of the route), two young people (appearing 26-28 years old), threatening with a gun, attacked a citizen of Ghana. One of them hit an African on the head, the beating was accompanied by racist insults. The attackers were detained by police officers.

On March 5, 2010, near the Vykhino metro station on Lukhmanovskaya Street, two young men attacked a Cameroonian citizen and stabbed him several times. The victim managed to escape. The African was hospitalized with multiple cuts and spent 3 weeks in the hospital. The police conducted a check on the fact of the attack, the results of which, unfortunately, we do not know anything.

On March 21, 2010, in one of the electric trains on the Kazan direction of the railway (on the Bykovo-Ramenskoye section of the track), a group of men of 6 people, two of whom were armed with knives, attacked two citizens of Ghana and one native of Nigeria.
