Video: Security Guard Sprays Gas on Elderly Pensioner’s Face in Russia

In Yaroslavl, a security guard sprayed gas on the face of an 80-year-old pensioner. He was reportedly displeased with where the elderly woman was sitting.

According to Russian media, the woman simply went to the polyclinic at 2 Uglichskaya Street to warm up. The security guard took issue with her presence and tried to escort her out. When she refused to leave, he resorted to using a special spray, in the form of liquid gas.

The woman was immediately transported by ambulance to the central city hospital.

Oksana Piklyun, the director of the local Health Department, stated that the incident “shocked her.” An investigation is underway, and a legal decision will follow based on its results.
