Yesterday, January 24, an independent outfit of guardsmen served in policing in the Left Bank region of Mariupol. When the February street was patrolling, suddenly, from around the corner of the house, a citizen came to them. Seeing the guards' outfit, he pulled out a gun and started firing towards law enforcement. The offender was detained, the NSU press service notes. As it became known later, the attacker was a 51-year-old resident of Mariupol, who, apparently, was intoxicated, and the weapon from which the offender fired was pneumatic. Law enforcement officers did not suffer.

To clarify the circumstances, the investigative-operational group was called to the scene of the offense, and the citizen was taken to the Left Bank Police Department. On this fact, the investigation department of the Left Bank Police Department made a final decision on the initiation of criminal proceedings provided for by. 1 tbsp. 345 of the Criminal Code (Threat of murder, violence or destruction or damage to property against a law enforcement officer, as well as against his close relatives in connection with the employee's performance of official duties).
