Fears Over Syringe Attacks.
(From The Moscow Times)
A man wielding a syringe has carried out a series of attacks on pedestrians in Yekaterinburg recently, stabbing passersby and fleeing the scene undetected, health authorities in the city said Monday.
Five victims in the last 10 days have reported to the city's health department with concerns that they may have been infected with HIV or hepatitis after the attacks, and the victims have given similar physical descriptions of the assailant, department spokeswoman Inna Abelinskene said by telephone Monday.
"Almost all of them have described the attacker as a young man wearing dark clothing," Abelinskene said. "He jabs them with the needle and then runs off."
Leonid Semyonov, spokesman for the city's police, said by telephone Monday that none of the victims had reported the incidents. But he said police were aware of the reports and searching for suspects.
"If a suspect is detained, he would probably initially be charged with hooliganism," Semyonov said. "But if it turns out the needles were infected, he could face more serious charges."
