Dancer accused in Bolshoi attack says did not intend to use acid

None

A Bolshoi Ballet dancer accused of organising an attack that nearly blinded the Russian theatre's artistic director said in court on Thursday that he did not intend for the victim to be splashed with acid.

 

Pavel Dmitrichenko said he had agreed when the alleged accomplice accused of carrying out the Jan. 17 attack on Sergei Filin suggested hitting him the head, but did not tell him to throw acid in Filin's face. (Reuters)
