MOSCOW, October 9 (Itar-Tass) — Three people have been injured in a fight in Moscow metro. They’ve been hospitalised. The incident occurred in a train carriage at the Rizhskaya metro station.

“A drunk passenger who was inadequate was bothering other passengers. A policeman who was nearby tried to stop him but the man took out a knife in response,” Moscow law enforcers told Itar-Tass on Sunday.

Three foreigners, citizens from a CIS republic, rushed to help the policeman but were stabbed with a knife in a brawl.

“However, the policeman managed to neutralize and detain the hooligan,” the law enforcers emphasized.
