Skinheads battered two Tajiks and threw them off a commuter train near Moscow

Moskovsky Komsomolets/April 10, 2006

A gang of skinheads assaulted two Tajiks in the train near Bolshevo station not far from Moscow on Friday night. The victims were repeatedly kicked with heavy boots and dragged, semi-conscious, to the doors. The doors were pried open and the hapless Tajiks were thrown out.

Some passers-by heard the moans and called the ambulance but one of the victims died even before doctors arrived. The police thought that the Tajiks had been hit by a passing train but the survivor eventually came to and told them differently.
