      An investigation into a criminal case against a local resident accused of causing harm to the health of a minor child has been completed in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The materials have been sent to court for consideration on the merits, the press service of the Investigative Directorate of the Investigative Committee of Russia for the region reported.

      According to the investigation, the incident occurred on August 24 in Knyaginino during the City Day celebrations. During the concert, a man who was intoxicated went up on stage. He began to behave inappropriately and refused to leave the stage despite repeated warnings.

      Another man on the stage tried to remove the offender and pushed him. As a result, he lost his balance and fell off the stage directly onto a 10-year-old girl standing nearby. The child sustained a broken leg.

      A criminal case was opened for intentionally causing bodily harm of moderate severity committed against a minor. The Knyaginino District Prosecutor's Office approved the indictment. The case will be heard in court in the near future.

      The progress of the investigation was under the control of the central office of the Investigative Committee of Russia. A report on the investigation's progress was presented to Alexander Bastrykin.

      In September, the man who fell onto the girl received 10 days' administrative arrest for petty hooliganism.

      After the incident, an internal inquiry was conducted in the Knyaginin district, following which two employees, including the head of the culture department, were suspended from their duties.

      Earlier it was reported that a former road service employee in Sarov is suspected of fraud involving 2 million rubles.
