© Alexei Danichev / SputnikA train arrives at station of the St. Petersburg Metro.
Described as a hooded man wearing sunglasses, the suspect was seen in the metro around 8:50 local time (5:50 GMT). According to witnesses, he left the train carriage at one of the stations located in the center of the city.
A woman, 27, who was travelling in the same train carriage, immediately reported the suspect to police. It is however still unclear whether the man was indeed carrying a grenade launcher or posed a threat. The police are still looking into the case.
Note there's not even a description of the TYPE of launcher. A bazooka is a type of RPG, but the later ones broke down into two parts about a meter long each. an RPG is about 4 feet long. A dedicated grenade launcher, (NOT rocket propelled but instead gunpowder propelled, used in vietnam was about 22" long.)
No details. Typical.
