An intruder forced his way into the offices of Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy and stabbed one of the station's anchors in the neck, the broadcaster said on its internet site on Monday.

The intruder was detained by the station's security staff and handed over to police. The victim, Tatyana Felgengauer, has been hospitalised but her life is not in danger, the station said.

In 2012, one of the liberal radio Ekho Moskvy's male presenters was hospitalised after being stabbed 20 times by attacker who lured him out of his home.
