(RT) – A man armed with a knife attacked and injured a female journalist after forcing his way in the Echo of Moscow radio station in Moscow, its editor-in-chief reported. The woman was taken to hospital.
Tatiana Felgengauer was stabbed in the throat by the assailant, Aleksey Venediktov reported. The attacker was subdued by the station’s security guards, he added. Felgengauer, 32, is the deputy editor-in-chief and host of one of the station’s talk shows. She first appeared on-air in 2005 as an intern correspondent and has been working for Echo of Moscow even since.
