A Dagestani teenager is suspected of hitting a police officer.

A minor resident of Dagestan is suspected of intentionally hitting a police officer while driving a car.

A minor resident of the Khasavyurt district has become a suspect under Part 2 of Article 318 of the Russian Criminal Code (use of violence dangerous to life and health against a government official), the Dagestan branch of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation reported today on its website.

According to investigators, on May 27, the teenager, who did not have a driver's license, was driving a car in Khasavyurt. Ignoring police orders to stop, he attempted to flee.

After catching up with him in the village of Mogilevsky in the Khasavyurt district, police officers in a patrol car blocked his path. However, the teenager, "realizing that there was an on-duty police officer in front of the car," drove forward.

"As a result, the police officer ended up on the hood of the vehicle. The suspect continued driving, dragging the police officer for at least 30 meters, after which the police officer fell onto the roadway," the publication states.

The agency did not specify the teenager's age or whether he had been detained.

The hit-and-run of a traffic police officer in Krasnodar was considered a terrorist attack.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that an attack occurred in Krasnodar in February 2022. A traffic police officer was struck by a driver in a traffic accident. As a result, the officer sustained serious injuries, and another person was injured. The incident, initially classified as a traffic accident, was determined by investigators to be an act of terrorism.

According to investigators, Moscow Region resident Sergei Gurin intentionally struck a traffic police officer and then attempted to steal his service weapon. He explained his actions by citing his disagreement with the military operation that killed his brother.

Gurin was sentenced to 17 years in prison. The court found him guilty of a terrorist attack and attempting to steal a police officer's weapon. The defense appealed the verdict, arguing that Gurin's actions were incorrectly classified as an act of terrorism, but the appellate court found no grounds for overturning the sentence.
