Radicals boasted on the Internet of bashing a UOC parishioner (VIDEO)
As the UOJ source reports, while the nationalists were beating the man, they mostly lifted their cameras down. Tyres of Vasiiy Bokach’s car were pierced and the mirrors were broken. One of the leaders of local radicals Sergey Sternenko wrote on his Facebook page about the incident: “Vasya stuck the Empire’s Russian Tricolor on his car. Besides, he has spoken up a lot of anti-Ukrainian things all day long today. Now Vasya feels pain all over his body, while his Lexus has problems with mirrors and wheels.”
During the attack there were present police officers who, as it can be seen from the film, did not bother to intrude into goings-on. It was namely the policeman that tore a cross-depicting stick off Bokach’s car – what the radicals had actually sought.
The injured man was delivered to the hospital. Battery-induced injuries were verified with the application filed to the police.
