As an example, he mentioned the incident next to the "Sovremennik" cinema that happened on the night of March 6.

According to the interlocutor, about a week ago in Rakhmaninova street, ruffians broke a leg of the driver who stopped the car reacting to a provocation, and even earlier, a client of a taxi service attacked a driver with a bat because he was displeased about the sum of money he had to pay for transportation.

"Those who are curious may turn on a two-way radio and listen to what drivers are saying. I am sure that there is not a single night when the signal 'Two zeroes' is not sent. It is an alarm signal. It can be heard almost every night. Sometimes even twice a night. The case is that there are different degrees of danger," he explained.
