Dramatic moment half-naked 'paedophile' is tackled by cops minutes after he 'sexually assaulted schoolgirl, 14, in a Russian lift'

Shocking footage shows cops running after a man dressed in just a top and one sock as he wanders away from a block of flats in Moscow moments after the alleged attack.

It is claimed the 24-year-old man, named in local media as Dmitry M, lurked in a lift to wait for the girl before she left for her weekend classes.

When she got in on the ninth floor he grabbed her and held her mouth as he undressed, tore off her clothes, and subjected her to a “violent sexual attack”, it is alleged.

The former Burger King employee dragged her out of the lift on the ground floor and continued the assault, uralpolit.ru reported.

Police say the man punched the girl several times during the attack on Saturday afternoon.

He allegedly only stopped the assault when a male resident came into the entrance foyer and forced him away from the terrified girl.

The suspect then fled half-naked to a building next door to hide, it was claimed.

The attacker’s underwear, trousers, shoes and one sock were all left at the scene of the alleged assault.

After the concerned resident called cops, two officers were seen arriving and detaining the alleged paedophile near security gates by the block of flats.

The schoolgirl was being cared for by her family and counsellors, it was reported.

The man was formally arrested after the attack and is now reportedly in custody.

Police say he lived in the same block as the girl but they did not know each other.

If convicted he faces between eight and 15 years in jail.
