According to the publication, the 37-year-old man drove his car onto the grounds of allotment gardens on Modrej Street. He was aggressive, accelerating and braking sharply.
The attacker continued looking for a pretext for a confrontation. According to police officers, he ran up to two other gardeners—a father and son. He began calling them “Banderites.” He was aggressive and vulgar. He did not like the accent he heard in the reply. He began insulting one of the men and, according to witnesses, wanted to beat him. However, the man, a citizen of Ukraine, managed to escape.
After beating two of his compatriots, he got into his car and drove away. Later that same day, police detained him in the same area where the attack had taken place.
At the time of his arrest, the man had more than 1.5 parts per thousand of alcohol in his blood. A blood test was also taken to check whether he was under the influence of drugs. During the investigation, it emerged that the 37-year-old man did not have a driving licence. The man was charged with causing bodily injuries resulting in incapacity for work lasting more than seven days, insulting someone on national grounds, and driving a car while intoxicated. He faces up to 7.5 years in prison
