A CRIMINAL CASE ABOUT BITTEN NOSE IS BEING INVESTIGATED IN ST. PETERSBURG

On the night of December 9-10, a man lost a part of his nose while trying to make friends with a horse in the center of St. Petersburg. According to preliminary data, a drunk 25-year-old resident of the city was walking down the street and met a rider girl on his way.

The man decided to get acquainted with both the girl and the horse, but the animal did not like this idea and bit off the part of the nose of the new acquaintance.

According to the rider, she warned the man that the horse might bite him and that he should not come close, but he ignored this recommendation.

The victim was taken to the hospital, where he received emergency assistance. It is known that the tip of the nose was sewn on, but the likelihood that it will grow back together is very small. Most likely, a man will need plastic surgery to eliminate the defect.

Commenting on the situation, the victim assures that he does not remember to be warned that the horse might bite. He insists that he gave the animal carrots and stroked the neck, having previously asked permission from the rider about this. The man also claims that he was not drunk, since he drank only a couple of cocktails.

Later, his friend stood up for the victim and explained that there were two riders, they themselves approached the young people and offered to feed the animals with carrots.

One of them really warned that you can only stroke the horse's neck, but the second did not inform about a danger of close contact. At the same time, the man does not deny that he and the victim were not sober, but "in an adequate state."
