During the standard check of documents carried out by the Territorial Recruitment Centre along with the police, a clash broke out among the local residents, resulting in one of the servicemen being stabbed, reported the regional TCC on their Facebook page.
On February 24, the alert group, together with the police, stopped a man to check his documents, and found that the conscript had violated military registration, meaning that he was wanted on the system.
“During communication with the detainee, ‘an indifferent citizen’ resorted to obstructing the state activities in the field of mobilisation training – as a result of aggressive actions, one of the servicemen received a knife wound,” the TCC noted.
According to the TCC, the wounded soldier was hospitalised in a stable condition, and there were no other injuries as a result of the incident.
Witnesses claimed that the man was lying unconscious, and the three agents were pressing down on his son.
One neighbour (who didn’t want to be named for security reasons), said that the incident happened in the evening in the yard of her house, noting that she was at home and suddenly heard screams from outside the window, and when looking out, the resident saw a fight between her neighbour and the military.
“We look through the window, and it’s our neighbour and his father – the father was hit very hard in the face, his collarbone was broken, he lost consciousness, then they started shooting in the air – they took him and threw him into the bus.
“My mother got out, started saving him, the neighbours came out, but they started kicking him in the head and drove off with him,” said one of the witnesses and a participant in the conflict, adding that they also hit the person’s mother.
According to the woman, an ambulance was called for the neighbour’s father, who was taken to hospital, and they also contacted the police.
Svitlana is the mother of a man who, according to the TCC, was wanted for violating military registration, noting that it was a typical evening, when her son and husband went to the store, at which point she heard gunshots and her son’s screams.
“I went out the window, and here was this fight – I ran out, stood in something, in a bathrobe – my husband was lying unconscious, the three of them were already pressing down on my son, he was screaming, but I couldn’t do anything.”
Svitlana continued: “I tried to separate them, but nothing worked – I screamed, then one policeman hit me in the chest and I fell, he also called me names.”
As a result of the conflict, Svitlana’s husband was taken to hospital, but she said that after being hit on the head, he doesn’t remember half of the events of the evening.
“He’s a sick person, he has diabetes and high blood pressure – I heard my son shouting: ‘Don’t touch my father, he is sick,’ but he was knocked out, and then my son pulled out, I guess I understood, a knife, and cut the TCC’s leg.”
According to Svitlana, her son is 31 years old, and she went to the TCC to find out where he was being taken, but they didn’t reveal his whereabouts.
“I wrote a statement yesterday about the kidnapping of my son. I don’t know who the people were, where my son is, and what’s wrong with him – he was beaten badly, badly, there was a pool of blood, but I don’t know whose blood it was – my son’s or the policeman’s or the TCC’s, I don’t know.”
Svitlana noted that she knew that her son did not update his data, however, according to her, her husband had a ‘white ticket’ due to a head injury.
