      — In Bogdanovich a drunken man beat the paramedic; the latter sustained an open head wound. The Chairman of the Investigative Committee of Russia, Alexander Bastrykin, instructed the head of the Sverdlovsk Directorate, Frantsishko B.V., to submit a report on the progress of the criminal investigation and on the circumstances of the incident, the agency reports.

      The medic arrived at the patient in February 2024, who had injured himself while drunk. He refused to be examined and simply attacked the paramedic. As a result, the attacker was sent for examination to a psychiatric hospital.

      Recall that in February 2025 another drunken Sverdlovsk resident beat a female paramedic who had come to a call.
