A well-known journalist for Russia’s leading news radio station was yesterday stabbed in the throat by an unknown attacker who burst into her studio, continuing a string of attacks on reporters and opposition activists in Moscow.

The assailant broke into Ekho Moskvy, dubbed Russia’s only independent news radio station, and stabbed deputy editor-inchief Tatyana Felgenhauer.

Ms Felgenhauer, 32, was taken to hospital where she has undergone surgery and been put in a medically-induced coma. Her attacker was detained and handed over to police.
