When a girl was beaten in the center of Saratov, only a stray dog showed sympathy for her

The video of the beating of a girl in Saratov near Rakhov Street on September 23, 2026, posted on social networks, made us recall another similar event in our city, which happened a month and a half ago.

On August 10 this year, a video appeared on social networks, shot in broad daylight at the entrance to the Covered Market near the roadway of Chapaeva Street. It clearly shows how a girl in white with long loose hair is first grabbed by the hands and held, and then, when she breaks out, punched in the face and kicked by two other girls. The victim tries to escape through a crowd of his peers, but the guy grabs her hair and jerks her face on the pavement slabs. On the ground she is kicked several times.

All this happens in front of people passing by, but no one responds to the beating except a stray dog. A man's four-legged friend runs up to the girl who fell on the tile and tries to stop those who beat her. Then the dog stands next to the beaten and as if trying to comfort her, to express sympathy.

It is known that the video in social networks came under the attention of employees of the regional investigation department of the Investigative Committee of Russia, moreover, the chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia Alexander Bastrykin instructed the head of the regional department of the department Dmitry Kostin to submit a report on the progress and results of the investigation of the sad incident and the execution of this order was put under control in the central office of the Investigative Committee.

The correspondent of “MK in Saratov” appealed for comments to the press service of the SU TFR for the region. He learned the following.

"A criminal case under Article 116 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation is in production - "beatings," the representative of the department said. The classification can be changed after the result of the current forensic examination. At the same time, the possibility of bringing charges will be decided. Two 17- and 18-year-olds are on trial as witnesses. The victim is 17 years old.”.

Most importantly, the SU noted that the victim and those who allegedly beat her do not know each other. The conflict arose spontaneously, someone did not like something and a fight began, or rather, a beating.

The final answer to all questions must come from the investigation.
