Man Who Broke a Two-Year-Old’s Spine at Sheremetyevo Has His Arrest Extended

A shocking case from Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport. A drug-intoxicated man violently attacked a two-year-old child in the baggage claim area, throwing the boy to the floor and causing severe spinal and skull fractures. The child fell into a coma, and doctors fought for his life. The attacker, Vladimir Vitkov, was later declared legally insane, but investigators charged him with attempted murder of a minor. The court has now extended his arrest, while the child’s family continues to deal with the long-term consequences of the trauma.
