The Russian man on [the] street is a citizen of New York City who was caught up in the US military's offensive against the Cloverfield Monster.

Background

As Rob Hawkins' group attempted to make their way through an alley in New York City in order to retrieve Hawkins' partner, one of the members, Hud Platt, is confronted by this man. Although none of the members of the group speak Russian, and so cannot understand him, the Russian man yells about his missing family, wondering if Platt knows where they are. Shortly thereafter the man continues running onward. His fate is unknown.
