Odesa hooligan fled from the police and caused an accident: what punishment awaits him.

A resident of Odesa region started a quarrel with villagers and wanted to provoke a fight, but people called the police. Seeing law enforcement, the man tried to escape in his car but crashed into a police vehicle and was detained.

This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.

Details of the case

A 44-year-old man in Bilyaivka went to his acquaintance and provoked a conflict with her. When passers-by, who knew the woman, intervened on her behalf, he started to throw punches at them.

Upon the arrival of the police, the offender, in order to avoid responsibility, got into his car and tried to flee. However, he accidentally collided with a police vehicle. The man was without documents and appeared to be intoxicated, but he refused to undergo examination for the state of alcohol, drugs, or other intoxication.
