Circumstances of the incident

The incident at the Savelovsky market in Moscow occurred the day before.

A law enforcement officer approached the troublemaker and tried to calm him down and stop his hooligan actions. However, this caused a backlash and resistance from the suspect.

The man pulled out an object that looked like a firearm and pointed it at the police officer. He threatened to use it against the law enforcement officer.
