MOSCOW, May 11 (RIA Novosti) - A man is suspected of making a false bomb threat call to police because he was afraid to miss a train bound to south Russia from Moscow, the Russian Interior Ministry reported.
The suspect, a resident of Russia’s southern Volgograd Region born in 1987, has been arrested, the ministry’s transport department said Friday.
As a result of the hoax, the train, bound for the city of Novorossiisk, was stopped at Domodedovo station in the Moscow Region. The man, who did not miss the train despite fears, was detained by law enforcement officers who were checking the bomb report.
“No explosive devices have been discovered in the train,” a spokesman for the Interior Ministry’s transport department said, adding that the train was due to continue its way south soon.
The department said the suspect has admitted his guilt.
