Instead, the man failed to comply with the request, began walking away, and then attempted to flee.

After running onto the grounds of a school on Stepan Bandera Street, he pulled out a knife and deliberately stabbed a 55-year-old junior sergeant of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center three times: twice in the neck and once in the forearm.

The deceased had been mobilized at the end of June this year and was deemed fit for service in support units based on his health, in connection with which he was assigned to the notification group of the Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Center

At the scene, law enforcement officers seized a knife. Under the procedural guidance of the Halych District Prosecutor's Office of Lviv, the attacker was notified of suspicion of murdering a person in connection with the performance of that person's official duties and threatening to murder an employee of a law enforcement agency in connection with the performance of that employee's official duties (Clause 8, Part 2, Article 115; Part 1, Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).
