A security camera has captured a suspected racist shooting in the world famous Moscow metro as two men armed with handguns attacked a dark-skinned passenger.

Two men sit on the underground train in the Russian capital when a fellow passenger travelling in the same carriage attracts their attention.

One of the attackers nods to the other, whispers something, and then both draw guns in the vicious assault, in footage obtained by Life News, a major Russian media outlet.

The younger one uses a 'traumatic hand gun' to shoot into the abdomen of Khashim Latipov, 30, from Dagestan, a region in the Caucasus region of southern Russia.

He kicks him and shoots again, putting the gun at the man's head, as other passengers flee to the far end of the carriage.

The two men then turn their backs on the victim but keep threatening their victim with guns until they flee the train at Nagornaya station.

Faces of both attackers are caught by the security camera in the 17 November incident.

Miraculously, Lapitov survived the attack but is seriously wounded.

'The IDs of the shooters are not known yet, we are searching for them,' a law enforcement source told Life News.

'The victim was taken to the hospital, with one bullet in his jaw and serious damage to his face.'

Lapitov has undergone surgery, and new operations are expected, it was reported.
The footage was released in a bid to catch the attackers.

The incident comes as Russia is under scrutiny over alleged racist incidents, with a number of recent attacks, and taunts of foreign players at football matches.

The attack comes less than three months before thousands of Winter Olympics fans will travel to Russia for the Sochi games.

If I went on a train with a buddy and there was all those open seats I wouldn't be sitting in one where our hips were touching I'll tell you that!

I had to look up what a 'Traumatic Gun' was, never heard of one before. Seems to be quite a problem in Russia as ownership is not regulated, don't know if this is still the case.

[audiomouth]

The victim didn't look dark complected to me at all

[Xfactor]

This wasn't a racist attack. He's Muslim. Russia is no stranger to terrorist attack. Bet the two guys didn't trust him.

this is why you never wanna go with a 9mm , no fucking stopping power .

[Shadedwill]

He didnt go 9mm, he went with an LTL rubber bullet. Granted it's still quite lethal at that range..
