A customer at a popular Moscow cafe on Nizhnyaya Radishchevskaya Ulitsa had a rat fall on his head from a hatch in the ceiling in February.
The cafe management refused to compensate him for moral and physical damage, but the businessman, identified only as Dedyura, won more than 100,000 rubles ($3,000) in compensation in court, Rossiiskaya Gazeta reported. The rat bit and scratched the businessman, and he had to go to the hospital for stitches and rabies and tetanus shots.
Dedyura demanded 500,000 rubles in compensation, but the cafe management ignored his claims and even the court summons. The court also issued the cafe a fine of 53,450 rubles. The Federal Consumer Protection Service issued a warrant to close the cafe after an investigation.

A woman survived
THE MOSCOW TIMES2
A woman survived being struck by the propeller of an Antonov An-24 aircraft with severe injuries at the Krasnoyarsk airport Thursday.
The incident occurred Thursday morning as the plane’s engines were started for a flight to Kodinsk, a representative of the West Siberian Transportation Prosecutor’s Office told RIA-Novosti.
Despite a warning from a technician, the woman did not move away from the plane, and she remained unnoticed by the pilot, who started the engines, representative Natalya Krinitskaya told the news agency.
The woman, employed at the airport as an aircraft cleaner, was hit by the blades and hospitalized with injuries to her head, chest and arms. There were only four crew members on the plane at the time of the incident, with no passengers on board.
Transportation prosecutors have opened an investigation into the incident.

Baby Girl Born on Aeroflot Flight
THE MOSCOW TIMES3
At least four Russian airliners made emergency landings in the past 48 hours – three after experiencing technical problems and the fourth when a woman unexpectedly gave birth to a baby daughter. No one was injured in any of the incidents. A female passenger unexpectedly went into labor through an Aeroflot flight from Simferopol, Ukraine, to Moscow on Monday night, the airline said. The passenger gave birth to a girl at 9 p.m. with the assistance of four flight attendants and a fellow passenger, Sofia Kovalyova who is a nurse, it said.
The A321 jet made an emergency landing at the airport in Kharkiv, Ukraine, and the mother and newborn were taken off by ambulance to the hospital. «Aeroflot thanks Sofia Kovalyova and the crew of Flight SU1825 for their support and assistance in the childbirth, and wishes good health to the newborn girl and her mother,» the airline said in a statement. The last time a baby was born on an Aeroflot flight was on Sept. 14, 2005, when a Russian mother gave birth to a boy on a Boeing 767 flying from Moscow to Los Angeles, the airline said.
