Former coach of Kyiv "Dynamo" and the Ukrainian national team, Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko, assaulted a plumber in Kyiv during work to restore heat supply. This was reported by UNN with reference to journalist Najiye Ametova.
Details
Yesterday, an incident occurred in a neighboring building. Mr. Mykola, a plumber who services our building, among others, was beaten by one of the residents of the neighboring building. According to eyewitnesses, he turned out to be former Dynamo coach Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko. Currently, Mr. Mykola is in one of the hospitals in the Pechersk district. The incident occurred in the afternoon.
According to her, the reason for the conflict was the lack of heating in the building.
In these difficult times, people who are trying to restore light and heat to us should not face rudeness, let alone physical violence. When aggression gets out of control, it often targets those who cannot fight back. According to Mr. Mykola, the head of the housing maintenance department recorded everything on his phone, but after speaking with Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko, he reported that the video had disappeared. Neighbors from our building speak very warmly of Mr. Mykola. Every day he comes to the city center from Hostomel and from morning until late at night does everything possible to help people. Mr. Mykola filed a police report, but he is worried that due to the assailant's famous name, the case might be hushed up.
In addition, she added that when she called Mykhaylychenko, he behaved arrogantly and advised her to "rest," noting that he didn't care even if it was written about.
Earlier, UNN, citing the Main Directorate of the National Police of Ukraine in Kyiv, reported that a utility worker was beaten in the capital during work to restore heat supply, and the police had launched a criminal investigation.
A few days ago, a 53-year-old employee of the housing maintenance department contacted the Pechersk police department with a statement that during work to restore heat supply, he was struck by a 62-year-old resident of the building during a verbal conflict.
On the spot, law enforcement officers interviewed the participants and witnesses of the incident and are currently conducting investigative actions to establish all the circumstances of the event.
The victim was given a referral for a forensic medical examination, which will determine the severity of the injuries sustained. The man is currently in the hospital.
A criminal proceeding has been initiated under Part 1 of Article 125 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine - intentional minor bodily harm. A pre-trial investigation is underway.
UNN sources reported that the mentioned proceeding concerns Oleksiy Mykhaylychenko.
