Armenian man stabbed to death in youth fight on Moscow metro

MOSCOW, April 22 (Itar-Tass) — A young Amernian-born man was killed
by a group of youngsters in a fight at Moscow’s central Pushkinskaya
metro station on Saturday, police said.

Seven young people, including the Armenian, started fighting each
other on the station’s platform. `During the tussle one of its
participants drew up a knife and hit a 17-year-old young man from
Armenia with it once,’ a police officer told Itar-Tass.

All other young people involved in the fight escaped. No one was
detained.

Police have so far refrained from comments on the possible motives of
the incident. But they did not rule out ethnic motives.
