In Odintsovo, near Moscow, a mixed martial arts fighter beat up a stylist neighbor and threatened his wife and small children with a pistol because of the noise, reports the Mash Telegram channel.

According to the publication, 33-year-old MMA fighter Andrei R., who works as a security guard and personal driver, went to his neighbors downstairs to investigate. After the stylist opened the door, the man hit him in the head several times. The incident was witnessed by the stylist’s wife and children – a three-year-old son and a 1.5-year-old daughter.

After the conflict, the fighter returned to his apartment. When the victim approached his door, it suddenly opened – a neighbor came out with a gun, pointed it at the man and began shouting that he would “shoot” his family. As a result, another neighbor snatched the weapon from his hands.

Police and ambulance arrived at the scene. The stylist was taken to the hospital with a concussion and bruises, and after that the children were under severe stress and did not sleep for several nights.

It is noted that the conflict between neighbors has been going on since 2023. First, Andrei R. complained about the repairs, and then about the stomping, toys and crying of children, and threatened with complaints to the commission on juvenile affairs and the presence of “connections.”
