Attack on a black man in Moscow

On the night of April 7, 2014 in Moscow, near the metro, a group of young people attacked a black visitor from Côte d'Ivoire. The attack was accompanied by offensive racist chants.

According to the victim, the attackers were 7 people (appearing to be from 25 to 35 years old), dressed in camouflage clothing with a hood and black hats, shod in army boots. Two of them were with baseball bits.

Young people surrounded a black man who got out of the subway. They took away his bag with money and documents. Fortunately, the African managed to escape, pull out the keys and run into the house.
