The police have referred to court an indictment against a man suspected of damaging a soldier’s car and robbing him following a road rage incident.

This was reported by the Kyiv police.

At the end of March, the police received a report that a man had damaged a soldier’s car and robbed him right on the road.

According to the investigation, whilst driving on the carriageway, the man’s BMW ‘performed a dangerous manoeuvre’ and ‘cut off’ the soldier, who was driving in the adjacent lane.

Then, during a subsequent altercation at a traffic light, the suspect smashed the soldier’s car mirror with his fist, threatened him with violence and took his phone, which he then threw into a wooded area.

Law enforcement officers detained the 51-year-old man and informed him that he was suspected of offences under Part 1 of Article 296 (hooliganism) and Part 4 of Article 186 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (robbery committed under martial law). Investigators have referred the case to court; the man faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment.

As a reminder, the SBU previously uncovered two schemes to evade mobilisation in Kyiv.
