As MK learned, the incident occurred late in the evening of July 2 in the Novomoskovsk administrative district — in the settlement of Sosenskoye. The taxi driver, a former law enforcement officer, was driving a car along Cervantes Street. In front of him, driving another car, was a native of one of the Caucasian republics. On the way, he behaved incorrectly on the road when changing lanes. The ex-policeman honked at the driver, and he responded by firing a traumatic pistol into the fender of his opponent’s car, then caught up with him at a traffic light, got out of the car and broke the side window with his hand, and then drove off. The driver's face and hands were cut by shrapnel. He called 112 and called an ambulance and the police. The victim’s adventures did not end there; he was forced to spend the whole night in the police station and, as a result, called himself to another emergency room — the man suffered anaphylactic shock.
