On the night of November 14, a message from the driver arrived at the duty unit of the Novokuznetsky Interior Ministry department. The man said that on the road near the village of Kurtukovo, three young people blocked his carriageway. One of them hit the side mirror of his SsangYong car with a baseball bat. Information about the incident also appeared on social media.

Criminal investigation officers, together with juvenile inspectors, identified the participants. They were residents of the village of Kurtukovo 12, 15 and 16 years. Together with their parents, they were called to the police department.

Minors explained the act by the desire to have fun and check the reaction of drivers. The 16-year-old who hit the car had his balaclava and baseball bat seized.
