A yeshiva student fended off an attack by three youths in the Kiev subway by shooting at them, according to a March 6, 2006 report by the MigNews agency. The student was beaten and thrown to the ground, where the drunken youths started kicking him, but he put a stop to the attack when he pulled out a legally licensed BB gun and shot at his attackers. It is not clear if any of the attackers were wounded, but the shots attracted the police, who arrested them. The student attends the same yeshiva as Mordechai Molozhenov, who was beaten and stabbed into a coma last August in Kiev, but has since recovered.
