Three persons injured in fight between natives of Northern Caucasus and football fans in Moscow

In Moscow, three persons were injured in a fight between natives of Northern Caucasus and football fans. Two victims are in serious condition.

"Not far from the shopping centre 'Evropeisky' (European), a domestic conflict between two natives of Northern Caucasus and two representatives of one of the fan movements of the 'Spartak' FC occurred. As a result of the incident, football fans were brought to hospital," the "Interfax" quotes a source as saying.

Meanwhile, Oleg Semenov, Director of the "Spartak Moscow" fan club, in his microblog on Twitter reported that during the incident, Alexei Usachev, a fan of the "Spartak" FC, had suffered three wounds to his neck, back and leg, and after that he was brought to the Botkin Hospital in serious condition, where he underwent surgery. According to recent information, the victim was transferred to the resuscitation ward. "Doctors saved his kidneys," writes Oleg Semenov. He continues: "His arm artery is wounded. The wound on his neck is not terrible it's just a cut."

According to Director of the fan club of the Moscow "Spartak" FC, the incident near the shopping centre "Evropeisky" was recorded by surveillance cameras.

The life of the second fan injured in the fight is not in danger, and he is conscious, the "Gazeta.ru" reports.

It is reported that Gekhan Rizvanov, one of the attackers, a 22-year-old resident of Chechnya, was also wounded in the fight. According to preliminary information, during a quarrel, he took out a knife and struck Alexei Usachev in his back. After that, a friend of the wounded man took out a traumatic pistol and shot to Gekhan Rizvanov, who was eventually hospitalized in the Institute of Emergency Ambulance named after Sklifosovsky with multiple gunshot wounds to his body, the "Life News" reports.

At present, it is known that football fans, who participated in the fight, are members of the same grouping, which included Yegor Sviridov, killed in the fight in 2010. The grouping represents "combative wing" of one of the informal fan movements of the Moscow "Spartak" FC under the name of "Union", the "Newsru.com" reports.
