The recent scandal with tear gas sprayed by ensign Retsikau near the face of a five-year-old child at a football match in Babruisk is still remembered by many. However, the riot police are not going to calm down.

This weekend there was a motorbike festival in Babruisk. The order there was secured by the Mahiliou riot police. During the music concert a youngster started waving his hands to the music. A riot policeman turned back and saw it. Most probably, he understood it in a wrong way, because he immediately hit the youngster in abdomen.

Then two more policemen ran up and pulled the guy into a police car. The incident was witnessed by several tens of people. The younster was kept in the car for quite a long time. He felt unwell when he was released from it and looked scared.

He refused to tell what had happened in the car and went home. His friends think he had been beaten, as he refused to tell anything even the following day and looked bad.
