Detectives detain suspect in the murder of Russian man which sparked Moscow race riots Killing of Yegor Shcherbakov, 25, unleashed the worst race riots Moscow has seen in three years Police said they have detained Orhan Zeynalov from Azerbaijan TV footage shows Zeynalov being roughly treated by special forces Tensions have been simmering in Moscow between disenchanted Russian youths and migrants from Muslim ex-Soviet states A man accused of stabbing a man to death in Moscow, and triggering the worst race riots in Russia for years, has been filmed being violently arrested by police. The images, shown on Russian television, show Orhan Zeynalov being dragged around, roughly thrown to the ground and stamped on by officers, who say he resisted arrest. Russian news agencies reported that the arrest was carried out by Russian special forces in a woodland area in Kolomna, a small town near Moscow. Russian national television shows footage of a murder suspect being beaten, handcuffed and then dragged to the office of the Russian Interior Minister Orhan Zeynalov is pushed to the floor by Russian police before he is taken away After a scene of him being dragged along by officers, the footage skips to show Zeynalov, who appears to have been tripped by officers, shouting repeatedly. At one point he can be heard saying 'please!' in Russian as he appears to plead with officers, who lift him up then throw him back down again, stamp on his back and hold him down with their feet. He is later shown being bundled into a helicopter, which takes him to the Russian Interior Minister's office in front of assembled television cameras. The officers, dressed in black, bring him through the building to an office, where an official looks at the captor and appears to congratulate the men on their work. Zeynalov, a citizen of Azerbaijan, is being held on suspicion of murdering Yegor Shcherbakov, 25, in the streets of Moscow on Thursday. He is thought to have fatally stabbed the man while he was walking through the city with his girlfriend, which unleashed the worst race riots Moscow has seen in three years. Police said Zeynalov resisted special forces when they tried to detain him in Kolomna Orhan Zeynalov, who is suspected of fatally stabbing Shcherbakov in front of his girlfriend Nationalists have threatened further protests in areas populated by migrant workers from former Soviet Central Asia and Caucasus states. Advocacy groups warned migrants are at a high risk of violence as crowds of Muslims celebrated the Islamic holiday of Eid al-Adha, and a heavy police presence was seen in the capital. The murder triggered the riots in Moscow's southern Biryulyovo district, where Shcherbakov was attacked. Tensions have been simmering in Moscow between disenchanted ethnic Russian youths and labour migrants mostly from predominantly Muslim ex-Soviet states. Hundreds of nationalists gathered near a shopping centre in southern Moscow, Russian wires said, to protest against Shcherbakov's killing in what was promoted online by nationalists as an 'Answer to Eid al-Adha'. The murder suspect was beaten and handcuffed before he was taken to the Russian Interior Minister's office Russian TV showed Orhan Zeynalov being dragged through the office of the Russian Interior Minister City police official Oleg Sigunov was quoted by RIA as saying that 276 young people had been detained on their way to the protest. Earlier in the day, police set up barriers and metal detectors outside Moscow's main mosque. Ethnic tension is often higher during the Islamic holiday because crowds spill out into the streets around the city's few mosques. Crowds of residents in Biryulyovo have called for tougher policing of migrants and roamed the streets hunting for men who matched a police description of Shcherbakov's alleged killer. One of Russia's main Muslim organisations said its website was also hacked on Tuesday. On Sunday, rioters smashed shop windows, clashed with police and stormed a market in Biryulyovo where many migrants work. The violence was the worst in Moscow since 2010 when some 7,000 nationalists rallied near the Kremlin, chanting racist slogans and attacking non-Slavic-looking passers-by in what then-President Dmitry Medvedev called 'pogroms'. On Monday, police also raided the market in Biryulyovo and detained more than 1,200 people to check for any wrongdoing, and about 450 migrants were detained at another site. In an apparent move to appease residents, Moscow's police chief fired the senior officer in the district on Tuesday. Migrant labour has played a significant role in Russia during an oil-fuelled economic boom that took off around the time President Vladimir Putin came to power in 2000. But many in the capital resent the migrants and some Russians have called on the government to impose visa requirements for people arriving from Moscow's former satellites.
