OMON riot police officers detain a young man outside Yevropeisky Shopping and Leisure Centre near Kievsky Rail Terminal. The Moscow police have reinforced the tight security around the terminal in an effort to cancel an internet-organised ethnic fight. The recent wave of ethnic violence in Moscow and other major Russian cities was sparked by the murder of an ethnic Russian football fan in the early December 2010.
