At the Tula station, a passenger on the Moscow-Adler train displayed inappropriate behavior, locked himself in a compartment, and subsequently fired at a police officer. This information was reported by the Transportation Department of the Central Federal District of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"On November 6, around 01:30, the line department of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs received a notification from the head of the intercity train that one of the passengers was behaving inadequately," the report states.
