He reportedly sustained injuries incompatible with life and died on the spot. The man was identified as Khurshed Otambekov, 26.
Some media outlets have reckoned him among Wahhabis after a prayer book was found in his pocket, but the Russian Interior Ministry Transportation Police Directorate denied any speculation that the man was a Wahhabi and could be involved in terrorist organizations.
