According to Armenian media, the court granted the motion of the  investigative body to arrest the suspects.

As ArmInfo previously reported with reference to the Ministry of  Internal Affairs of Armenia, on February 3, a citizen of Lithuania,  36-year-old Lukas Revinskas, as well as four Russian citizens:  20-year-old Georgy Radgin and Saveliy Biryukov, 27-year-old Nikita  Volchenkov and 19-year-old Stepan Say, suspected of hooliganism, were  detained while attempting to cross the Bagratashen border checkpoint  on the border with Georgia.

As the vice-mayor of Yerevan previously reported, the hooliganism was  committed on February 1. In particular, one of the passengers pressed  the emergency stop button of the metro train, which was traveling  from the station "David Sasunsky" to the station "Zoravar Andranik".  While the driver was informing the dispatcher about the incident, the  same group of masked people painted the carriages with paint on the  outside. As a result, a criminal case was opened on the fact of  hooliganism.
