A Ural resident who was banging his head against the doors of the Investigative Committee building was sent to a "psychiatric hospital."
Compulsory treatment was ordered by the court for a resident of Nizhny Tagil, who smashed the door of the investigative department of the Investigative Committee with his head. The incident, which investigators later classified as vandalism, occurred on the night of March 19, 2025, reports the unified press service of the courts of the Sverdlovsk region. The drunken citizen broke the glass of the entrance group of the building of the district investigative department of the Investigative Committee with his head. According to the detained individual, the motive was long-standing grievances against the investigative authorities—what he considered to be too harsh a punishment imposed on him several years ago.
According to the conclusion of the forensic psychiatric examination, at the time of the act, the detainee was in a state of temporary mental disorder (exacerbated by intoxication) and could not comprehend his actions. The subject of the criminal case, initiated under part 1 of article 214 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (vandalism), was declared insane by the court and released from criminal liability.
On Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the magistrate of judicial district No. 3 of the Leninsky judicial district of Nizhny Tagil issued a ruling to apply a compulsory medical measure—treatment in a general psychiatric hospital.
"Notably, the subject himself agreed to the necessity of treatment," the press service noted.
The court ruling can be appealed to the district court within 15 days.
