According to investigators, law enforcement officers stopped a Daewoo Nubira car on the road for violating traffic rules. During the verification of the driver's identity, it turned out that the 47-year-old man was wanted for evading mobilization.

Soon, the 45-year-old wife of the driver, as well as representatives of the TCC, arrived at the scene. According to the investigation, in the heat of the conflict, the man grabbed a stick from the car and hit the policeman on the head several times. After that, the woman picked up a stone from the road and also hit the policeman on the head with it.

The sanction of the article provides for punishment in the form of restriction of liberty for a term of up to five years or imprisonment for the same term.
