MOSCOW, April 8 (RIA Novosti) - Moscow prosecutors have ordered the arrest of four suspects in an attack on an NTV television producer, the Prosecutor's Office said Saturday.

"Four suspects have been detained," prosecutors said.

NTV producer Elkhan Mirzoyev, of Azerbaijani origin, was beaten early on Monday in a subway car in central Moscow in an apparently racially motivated incident. Doctors said later in the day that Mirzoyev was at home, and in a satisfactory state of health.

Mirzoyev said a group of young people had entered the metro car at Park Kultury station, and one of them, a "skinhead", approached him and told him he "must leave Moscow." Another poured beer onto the producer's head, after which the confrontation turned violent.
