In St. Petersburg, security guards beat a passerby for noticing the appearance of the Director

The general director of a private security firm and his employee will appear before the court of the Kuibyshevsky district. According to the press service of the Prosecutor’s office in St. Petersburg, the men beat a passer-by for the remark.

According to investigators, in December 2025, two defendants attacked a man at a convenience store on Kolomenskaya Street. They brutally beat the victim, striking at least 17 punches and feet in the head and chest. The victim said that the attack occurred due to criticism of the CEO. He pointed out the appearance and behavior of the leader.

The Prosecutor’s office approved the indictment under article intentional infliction of serious harm to health, dangerous to human life, committed by a group of persons. The criminal case was sent to the Kuibyshevsky District Court for consideration on the merits.

This is not the first time that guards have shown excessive aggression towards St. Petersburgers. So, the security guard of the St. Petersburg club brutally beat the groom at a bachelor party, breaking his nose and skull. The conflict began over a guard's remark for a guest's sleep and escalated into a fight. The groom suffered at least nine blows, resulting in serious injuries. The victim received compensation for moral damage in 400 thousand rubles from a security officer.

Even food can become a struggle for survival. Two people died after clashes with store guards: in January in the City Mall and in October in the Nevsky district. Investigators understand the circumstances, but the question arises about the control of the guards.
