Moscow journalist stabbed at work, put into coma

MOSCOW — A well-known journalist for Russia’s top independent radio station is stabbed in the throat Monday by an unidentified attacker who burst into her studio — the latest in a string of attacks on journalists and opposition activists in Moscow.

The assailant broke into the Ekho Moskvy offices and stabbed deputy editor Tatyana Felgenhauer, says editor-in-chief Alexei Venediktov. She is best known for co-hosting a popular morning radio show.

Felgenhauer, 32, undergoes surgery at a hospital and is put in medically induced coma as doctors determine the best course of treatment, he said.
