A shocking incident at the International Airport in Shemetyevo, Moscow, was left by an 18 -month -old Iranian refugee boy who fought for his life in a coma after a tourist forcibly threw him at a hard airport. A child who had just arrived in Russia with his pregnant mother after a conflict in Iran has suffered a serious fracture of the skull and the injury of the spine in an unprovoked attack.
Suspect, identified as 31 -year -old Vladimir Vitkov of Belarus, was caught at the CCTV shots in the arrival hall. The video shows that Vitkov looked before he suddenly grabbed a toddler that stood beside the trunk, and forcibly threw him to the ground. The attack occurred only from meters from the boy’s mother, who at that time collected her stroller.
The emergency services rushed a critically injured child to the local hospital, where it remains in a coma.
The authorities quickly detained Vitkova, who was supposedly under the influence of drugs at that time. In his bloodstream, traces of cannabis were found and other drugs were discovered in his possession. Investigators are investigating whether the attack was racially motivated or influenced by other factors.
The suspect allegedly flew to Moscow from Cyprus or Egypt.
Ksenia Misonon, a child’s ombudswoman in the Moscow region, condemned the attack and described Vitkova as a “drug added monster” and expressed hope that they were facing the full gravity of the law. She also wanted the child to recover the family quickly and strength to tolerate the tragedy.
The news suggests that Vitkov has a daughter at the same age as the victim. During the interrogation he was unable to clearly explain his actions. The incident caused global outrage and raised serious concerns about airport safety, mental health problems and the safety of fugitive families of conflicts.
Toddler and his mother fled from Iran a dangerous way through Afghanistan before they arrived in Russia. The attack caused a call for increased protection of vulnerable refugees and stricter measures to prevent these violent acts in public areas.
