A man of “non-Slavic appearance” and a woman who stood up for him were beaten on the train

On September 30, 2012, in the Moscow region, in an electric train going to Pavlovsky Posad, a group of young people who looked like football fans beat up a man of "non-Slavic appearance."

The passengers of the car began to stand up for the young man. Then the young people beat up an elderly woman who was loudly indignant at the behavior of the attackers.

After that, the rest of the passengers stood up for the beaten ones, and a fight began. At the Pavlovsky Posad station, people began to run out in a panic from the wagon.
