Social network users urge to punish advocate after conflict with natives of Chechnya

Pavel Gerasimov, an advocate, should be punished for the traumas inflicted on the child, social media users have stated in their comments on his conflict with Chechen natives in Moscow. They have suggested that an advocate's apologies will follow shortly after the incident.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on August 21, Moscow law enforcers informed that they were investigating the circumstances of the conflict of Pavel Gerasimov, an advocate, and natives of Chechnya. According to the police, a child was injured.

According to the boy's uncle, a six-year-old child was playing on the playground when Gerasimov began to "set his son on him", and then threw him to the ground and began choking him, mentioning the boy's nationality. The boy's father ran out and stood up for his son.

In his turn, the advocate asserts that he made a remark to the boy and asked him to call his parents. According to his version, the boy's father, a native of Chechnya, called his relatives for help; they attacked Gerasimov and started kicking him, threatening to kill the advocate himself, his son and his entire family.
