In Irkutsk both bus drivers who fought were held liable for hooliganism

Police investigated the road conflict between bus drivers 480 and 7 in Irkutsk. Both were found guilty. After racing on Lermontov Street, they stopped and fought in front of passengers, and the incident was posted online. They now face punishment for petty hooliganism, and the 26 year old driver of bus 7 was also charged with violating Russias stay rules.

Law enforcement officers have sorted out the road conflict between the drivers of buses No. 480 and 7. And they came to the conclusion that both men were at fault.
As a reminder, on June 28 on Lermontov Street, the drivers first staged a race and then a fight. They stopped, got out onto the street, and started throwing punches. The reason was that one had “cut off” the other. And this despite the fact that there were passengers in the buses. Someone filmed what was happening on camera and later posted the video on the Internet.
As reported by the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Irkutsk Region, for petty hooliganism the offenders will have to pay a fine of 500 to 1,000 rubles or spend 15 days under arrest.

In addition, the 26-year-old driver of bus No. 7 has been held liable under the article “Violation by a foreign citizen of the regime of stay in the Russian Federation.” Under it, the man faces a fine of 2,000 to 5,000 rubles if the offense was committed for the first time, with possible expulsion from Russia.
