Alexander Bastrykin orders to look into attack on ambulance worker

Chairman of the Investigative Committee has ordered the head of the Saratov Region Office to open a criminal investigation and detain the suspects if there are grounds following the results of a check into media reports on an attack and attempted rape of a paramedic.

According to preliminary data, in the evening of 11 February 2017, a paramedic arrived to a flat in Shelkovichnaya Street in the town of Saratov to attend an emergency call. Friends of the man, who had made the call, presumably offered the paramedic some intimate relations, which she reported to the police at once. The Saratov Region Office of the Investigative Committee launched a check into the incident.

At present the check is still underway to find out all the circumstances surrounding the incident. Those involved are being interrogated.
