I'm going home after couples. I'm leaving the subway. In front of me is a man with a chainsaw. The weather is good, warm. I, enjoying the spring, slowly follow him. Another man is coming towards us. He walks past a guy with a chainsaw, walks past me, then suddenly turns around. The dialogue follows:
- Mikhalych, is that you?
- Oh, Ivan! And I didn't recognize you.
Yeah, I didn't recognize you either. Yes, I see a friend drinking.
This is how they found each other. With a chainsaw.

The need of the peasant was completely tortured.
Went to warm up.
He tied a stone around his neck and goes deeper and deeper into the water.

Man - grab it! Opachki! - Gold fish!
Make up your mind, says your three wishes.
The man thought and thought, in detail like this, and asks:
- And, can I make two wishes now, and leave the third in reserve?
"Yes," the fish replies.
- Then, firstly, I want to be a new Russian, and secondly - so that they would not be killed.
The six hundredth Mercedes with a new Russian is driving around Moscow. Chainsaw hands
sawed off, legs torn off by a grenade, eyes burned with sulfuric acid,
but alive - death does not take him.
The man could not stand such a life, remembered the third wish, called
fish.
- What do you want? she asked.
- Can you return me in time to the moment of our meeting?
- Can!
No sooner said than done.
A man enters the water with a stone around his neck.
Then something began to sparkle under his feet.
- Yes, go to X% @! - said the man, and with a light heart wandered on.

Almost all of the initial reports spoke of two attackers, one with a chainsaw, the other with an axe. Both of them were allegedly wearing masks and were running after random people. Then it became known that the attacker - a young man - was alone.

“The man brought a chainsaw and an ax in a guitar case,” Yulia Goncharova, press secretary of the Investigative Committee of Belarus, told reporters. “He injured the girl with a chainsaw, she died on the spot. Another girl was hurt. Rumors about a severed head are untrue, as well as information that there were two attackers.

The suspect was detained, he is a man of Slavic appearance, born in 1998, Belarusian by nationality. The Investigative Committee initiated a criminal case."

As for the second wounded woman, according to the BelTA news agency, doctors assess the woman's condition as moderate. She is 46 years old.

“The patient received two blows with an ax in the chest and shoulder girdle. She is being examined and undergoing treatment,” the hospital said.

Later, the head of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate of the Minsk City Executive Committee, Alexander Barsukov, told reporters the chronology of what had happened right at the scene. Saturday night at 17.27 a 17-year-old Minsk resident entered through the side entrance of the Europe shopping center. The young man was decently dressed, calm and completely unsuspicious. He had a guitar case with him, in which he hid an ax and a chainsaw.

A minute later, the guy changed clothes, started the saw and inflicted bodily injuries, first on one woman, who died from her injuries.

After that, the man took out an ax and attacked the second woman. She was injured but managed to escape. Then he began to threaten other people with an axe. Only at 17.34 the first call came to the police station. At 17.35-17.36 the first police officers were already at the scene. The attacker was detained near the scene at 17.38.

An eyewitness to the events, the owner of one of the stores in the Europa shopping center, Leonid Usich, described what happened for the Onliner portal as follows:

“He had a huge ax - 1.5 meters somewhere in the handle. Like a sledgehammer, only with a sharp tip.

He was dressed like a clown - in a luminous cloak of bright green color. There was a mask on the head. Well, you know, like skiing put on - the face is visible, and everything else is closed. Ski goggles half-face, and large headphones on top.

…I saw a guy go to the center of the hall, take out a chainsaw from his backpack and attack the first saleswoman he came across. The girl was only 30 years old. It seems that she worked in a store near a pizzeria. Here he took out an axe. My salesperson Natasha came out of the pizzeria and immediately ran into him nose to nose. I grabbed a stick that fell under my arm and ran towards him. Two more ran to him with a chair. They tried to somehow stop him, as if they hit him on the head from behind with a chair. But I didn’t see this moment myself ... I saw that the guy with the ax looked around, broke a couple of shop windows. Then he ran after the police to show him where he was. By the time we got there, they had tied him up.”

It is known that the suspect is a citizen of Belarus, he is 17 years old, lives in Minsk. Now he is being interrogated in the Sovetsky police department of Minsk. On the fact of the incident, a criminal case was initiated under Part 2 of Art. 139 of the Criminal Code of Belarus (murder).

The maximum punishment under the article provides for imprisonment up to 25 years, life imprisonment or the death penalty.

Alexei Volkov, First Deputy Chairman of the Investigative Committee, told reporters: “The investigation has at its disposal video recordings from surveillance cameras, so we can definitely say that the attacker was alone. All the rumors that there were several attackers are connected with the fact that a man was seen first with a chainsaw, then with an ax. The condition of the young man (whether he was drunk or under the influence of drugs) is not commented on in the UK.

One of the employees of the Europa shopping center, Alexander, told the Tut.by portal how he detained the attacker with an ax. According to Alexander, he saw panic when he came out of the toilet - a man with an ax and a gas canister was running through the shopping center.

“Guys from other stores were swinging chairs at him and throwing trash cans in an attempt to stop him. I noticed that he was going to run up the stairs to the exit, I quickly went down the escalator and intercepted him.

Hit a couple of times and twisted. Other guys ran up and helped. After a couple of minutes, police officers arrived and took the attacker away, ”said the participant in the events.

"Autumn. Mental exacerbation. Panic. Gossip. The press service of the Investigative Committee is on top. Despite the weekend evening, Igor Parmon, a former high-ranking officer of the criminal police of Belarus, commented on what was happening to Gazeta.Ru. - Well, yes. Even if you enter mandatory inspection psychiatry of the entire adult population, this will not help anyone. Psychiatry is generally a backward science, nothing new since the time of Freud, and Freud did not advance far. And that's the world we live in."

Over the past few weeks, several high-profile events have taken place in Belarus, which can be explained by a combination of social factors with autumn psychological exacerbations. So, in different parts of the country, people committed suicide because they did not receive a salary at the factory or because the authorities issued them very big fines which they are unable to pay.

Minsk was shaken by a wild attack on visitors to the New Europe shopping center. On the evening of October 8, a 17-year-old boy entered the building. He had a guitar case and a chainsaw with him. An ax was hidden inside. He took them out and attacked the visitors of the cafe. This was reported in the Investigative Committee of Belarus.

A 40-year-old woman died at the scene from chainsaw wounds. Eyewitnesses said that the attacker cut off her head. Then the ax went into action. A 43-year-old visitor was injured, she survived and is in the hospital. Her condition is moderate, she received injuries to her arm and chest.

within 10 minutes young man eyewitnesses themselves detained, then the police arrived. The reason for the attack is still unknown.

acted in cold blood

I think this is a mentally ill person, otherwise there is no way to explain his act. Everything happened near my store and before my eyes, - Galina, the seller of the Europe shopping center, tells KP.BY. - About six o'clock in the evening a young man came in, he had a guitar case in his hands. He grabbed the first girl he came across, took a chainsaw out of its case, started it and killed the girl ... I saw her eyes. This guy acted coolly, silently, did not say anything and did not utter a word. And then he took the ax out of the case and went on.

Murder in the shopping center "Europe" is more like an American action movie.

There were two of them. Guys in masks, one with a chainsaw, the other with an axe. Of course, everyone is in shock ... - wrote some.

Shopkeepers grabbed chairs, trash cans, threw them at him. On the ground floor, almost at the exit, a guy threw a trash can so that it hit the attacker in the head. He fell, and everyone attacked him. The traffic police officers, who were the first to arrive, stuffed him into the car, - the owner of one of the shops of the shopping center told Komsomolskaya Pravda.

True, a little later, law enforcement agencies denied this information. The attacker was alone, the confusion arose due to the fact that he hid both a chainsaw and an ax under the case. Apparently, frightened visitors and sellers mistook the teenager for two different people.

Just do not panic, invent something that was not there. At the moment it is known that the attacker was alone. This is a young man of 17 years old, originally from Minsk, inconspicuous. Everything happened so quickly that people did not even have time to really figure out what happened, - Yulia Goncharova, an official representative of the Investigative Committee, comments on Komsomolskaya Pravda. - The police arrived a minute after the call, after a minute and a half the young man was detained by the guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His identity has been established.

You can’t even imagine how scary it was when we were sitting in the closet of the pharmacy and hiding from this maniac, ”Anastasia, the seller of the Europe shopping center, still cannot come to her senses to Komsomolskaya Pravda. In the evening we heard screams from top floor: "Shut up! There's a crazy man running around!". To be honest, I didn’t believe it right away, and continued to calmly drink tea. But then my colleague went on reconnaissance, came running, shouting: "It's true! Let's hide!" Dropped out of fear open shop, ran into the pharmacy, and there is a closet, locked. We are sitting. It was terrible! They began calling relatives and friends, asking for help. Together with us in the closet was the cleaner Irina. When she was leaving the toilet with cups, this madman attacked her with an axe. Given the fact that the girl was engaged in judo in the past, she took a stance as soon as she noticed him, and the blow fell on her arm. By some miracle, Irina was able to escape from him, right in the closet they bandaged her hand. Through the gap they saw how the police were running around the shopping center, but they did not come out until the last. They were very afraid. It was later that they learned that the girl had died. Someone says this was a seller, someone is a client. So far, nothing is clear. On Sunday I have a working day, but it's scary to go out. Maybe the center will be closed for an investigative experiment? It would be right. We all need time to calm down a little.

Sales assistant Vika, who went out for a smoke at the side entrance to the mall, saw a guy in an orange jacket enter the mall. She noticed that he had a guitar case behind his back, and a chainsaw was turned on in his hands. A minute later, when she entered the lobby, she saw a girl lying on the floor covered in blood.
