Another Russian Lawmaker Turns to Police Over Road Rage Row

2013/07/19

MOSCOW, July 20 (RIA Novosti) - Less than two weeks after a member of the Russian parliament was beaten in an apparent road rage attack, another lawmaker complained about “moral damage” he suffered in a traffic dispute, a police source said on Friday.


The source said Vladimir Rodin of the Communist Party requested police to investigate his dispute with an unnamed driver, in which “neither he, nor his car was unharmed, but the lawmaker suffered moral damage.”


He said that the identity of the driver has already been established and he has been summoned for a police interview.


RIA Novosti was unable to obtain a comment from Rodin by the time this article was published.


On July 9, another Russian lawmaker - Roman Khudyakov of the LDPR party - was beaten up after two men forced his car to stop. The lawmaker was hospitalized with concussion and bruises. The suspected attackers were detained near the Volga area city of Volgograd the following day.
