Details
As it was established, on May 23 at half past 4 am, the suspect was walking in the Darnytskyi district despite the curfew and decided to set off fireworks. At that time, part of the district was in darkness due to a power outage, so bright flashes and loud explosions scared residents of high-rise buildings.
The suspect explained his actions by saying that he was curious to see the sound and light effects of the fireworks he had found in a dumpster the day before.
For hooliganism, he faces a fine or probationary supervision for up to five years, or imprisonment for the same term.
