A female member of the St. Petersburg police is hospitalized after arguing with her supervisor
A woman in St. Petersburg working as a driver for the local police force was hospitalized today, reportedly after a brutal confrontation with her supervisor. According to the news agency Fontanka.ru, the woman suffered injuries to her jaw, spine, hips, kidneys, and chest.
The beating allegedly occurred yesterday, March 6, when the woman got into an argument with an acting deputy chief of police at a station in St. Petersburg's Frunze district. According to unverified reports, the two got into a shoving match that ended in the woman's injuries.
According to one version, [the police chief] was amicable and not serious, implying that she pushed him and he pushed back, and then other officers ran into the room. Proponents of this scenario point to the man's fighting experience. He's a professional and competition-winner. If there'd been a real assault, the doctors would have had a lot more work on their hands.
