Rosgvardiya said it had detained a 24-year-old Moscow resident after an attack on his 69-year-old grandmother. The woman suffered chest and shoulder wounds and was taken to hospital.

According to the Moscow Rosgvardiya headquarters, the man stabbed the woman several times with a kitchen knife during a domestic quarrel. The agency said he was intoxicated. His account of the dispute was presented as a preliminary explanation of the incident.

Operational footage shows officers entering an apartment on Golubinskaya Street, waking the man as he slept in a room and handcuffing him. He was taken to a police station after his detention. The report did not provide information about charges or any further custody decision.

The woman was hospitalized with chest and shoulder wounds. No update on her condition after she was admitted was provided. The source also mentioned a separate attack on relatives in Nizhny Novgorod, which was unrelated to this detention.
