  • A member of the "Vračar clan" was arrested in Belgrade, Serbia, for alleged intimidation and violent conduct.
  • The suspect reportedly blocked a driver's path, threatened him with a gun, and then used the gun to smash the car's windshield.
  • He then cut himself, wrote "VR" on the car's hood with his blood, and fled the scene.

Authorities in Belgrade have apprehended a suspect identified as N.M., a 31-year-old alleged member of the notorious "Vračar clan." He faces charges of endangering public safety and violent conduct following a brazen incident on July 3.

The arrest stems from an alleged road rage encounter. Prosecutors claim N.M. used his motorcycle to cut off a civilian's vehicle on Bulevar vojvode Bojovića. He then reportedly approached the car, brandished a firearm, and proceeded to smash the windshield with the weapon.

In a disturbing escalation, the suspect sustained a cut during the altercation. He then used his own blood to scrawl "VR" on the victim's car hood before making his escape. The motive behind the cryptic message remains unclear.

N.M. has been detained for up to 48 hours and will be transferred to the relevant prosecutor's office with a criminal complaint. The investigation is ongoing, with authorities collaborating with the Security Information Agency (BIA) and the First Basic Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade.
