A Moscow resident was sentenced to 14 years in prison for attacking with a knife in a cafe.

In Moscow, 41-year-old resident of the capital Alexander Afanasyev was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security colony. The Moscow prosecutor's office reported this to Lenta.ru.

As the court found, on November 2, 2025, Afanasyev entered a cafe on Boris Galushkin Street and, grabbing a knife, for no apparent reason, stabbed the first person he came across in the back. The wounded man was prevented from being finished off by another visitor, who intervened and received three blows to the body and limbs. As a result, the attacker was detained.
