The lawyer of one of the detainees, in turn, said that his client denied information about the use of a knife in a fight.

“My client Elnur Hasanov said that no one had used any knife in the conflict.

According to the investigation, Hasanov's brother took out the knife.

However, Hasanov himself does not confirm this, I believe that his brother adheres to the same version, ”lawyer Roman Masyutenko quotes TASS.

He added that his client does not admit guilt in the charges brought against him: "One of the videos was watched, and he claims that there is reason to believe that the conflict was provoked by the opposite side."

"Specifically touched, hit on the cheek"

“It turned out that he was somehow touched, and specifically touched, hit on the cheek, respectively, like a father, I reacted to this, tried to protect and defend myself.

Then word by word, one took out a knife, respectively, began to wave it, began to run after us with this knife in public, "- said the child's father in a recording published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

He continued, noting that his friend began to defend himself, ran after the attackers, and they, in turn, tried to hide from him.

After that, according to the man, he "took the child in an armful" and went home.

“But after that we met by chance before reaching the store, where the whole main fight began.

Somehow he saved himself and the child, he was sitting on his neck.

As quickly as possible, I took it off my neck and stood in front of him and started not talking to me, they just started beating me without talking, ”the man said.

The man's comrade, in turn, said that the father of the child was beaten by five or six people, and he, in response, suggested that the attackers fight one on one.

“But they constantly jumped from all sides, beat him in the head, inflicted bodily harm on him,” the man said.

He also mentioned that during the first skirmish, one of the attackers allegedly used a knife, but missed.
