A group of youths attacked two dark-skinned foreigners and a Russian woman in Lipetsk, Russia while screaming racist insults, according to a June 16, 2008 report by the Sova Information-Analytical Center. The youths, one of whom had a swastika tattoo on his shoulder, then forced their victims (a citizen of Algeria and a citizen of Cameroon) to withdraw money from an ATM, but they managed to flag down a police patrol, and the officers detained their assailants. So far the young extremists only face robbery charges, but hate crimes charges may later be tacked on.
