UK will reward the woman who called the police during a fight in the Moscow metro

Alexander Bastrykin, Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, decided to award a medal “For Assistance” to a woman who helped to detain participants in a fight in the Moscow metro, informs RIA Novosti.

The woman witnessed the fight in the carriage, pressed the panic button, and then ran out of the carriage after the participants in the fight and pointed at them to the police officers.

The head of the Investigative Committee also awarded the medal “Valor and Courage” to Roman Kovalev, who was injured in the fight.

Earlier, the court arrested three participants in a brawl on the Arbatsko-Pokrovskaya metro line, who severely beat a passenger who, according to eyewitnesses, stood up for the girl.

A criminal case of hooliganism has been initiated against the detainees; the article can be re-qualified to an article on attempted murder.
