Law enforcement officers are investigating the situation that occurred in the Moscow metro on July 10.
The details were reported by the press service of the capital's headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) of Russia.
Police have begun investigating video footage showing a man trying to kick a girl and her companion out of a subway car, RIA Novosti reports.
From the video presented to law enforcement, it is clear that the reason was the girl’s short haircut.
The passenger was outraged by this, so he tried to throw them out of the carriage, saying that such people “disgrace the Russians.”
This allegedly happened in a carriage of an electric train on the Sokolnicheskaya line of the capital's metro.
The situation outraged eyewitnesses and Internet users. What the man may face for this has not yet been revealed.
