Hooligans smashed a turnstile in the Yekaterinburg metro.

      Two hooligans, attempting to enter the metro without paying, smashed a turnstile at Botanicheskaya station in Yekaterinburg. The incident, KP‑Yekaterinburg reports, took place on September 26.

      At Botanicheskaya station, two young men tried to ride the metro without tickets, the press service of the Yekaterinburg Metro said.

      The hooligans intended to slip in behind a woman who had paid her fare, but only one fare‑dodger managed to get through—the turnstile closed in front of the second. The man then smashed a glass panel and ran off.

      The offenders were detained a week later at Chkalovskaya station. CCTV footage helped. One of the men admitted guilt. He will have to reimburse the metro for the damage caused.

      Recall that in 2024 the Yekaterinburg Metro updated all its turnstiles, replacing Soviet‑era anti‑vandal ones with attractive modern models. Earlier, the new turnstiles in the Yekaterinburg underground had already been smashed. Last summer a drunk passenger did this after being asked to show her documents at Geologicheskaya station.
