"The other day... a report was received that an unknown man damaged a serviceman's car and robbed him right on the roadway," the police said.
While driving, the BMW driver, as law enforcement officers established, "made a dangerous maneuver, 'cutting off' the victim, who was driving in the next lane in a Volkswagen car." "During the subsequent conflict at the traffic light, the BMW passenger got out of the car and smashed the car's mirror with his fist," the police said.
"After damaging the vehicle, the brawler began to threaten the 46-year-old driver with physical violence. Then he opened the car door and took the man's mobile phone," the police said.
Within a few hours, the police, as indicated, found the attacker and detained him. As it turned out, the man threw the stolen mobile phone into a forest belt. Law enforcement officers found the gadget and took it to return it to the owner.
The suspect was notified of suspicion under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Part 1 of Art. 296 – hooliganism and Part 4 of Art. 186 – robbery committed under martial law. The sanction for the most severe punishment provides for imprisonment for up to ten years.
