Then the invaders brought the concrete blocks that were unloaded on the site. The unloading was ruled by Valeriy Velegitskyi and some other three persons. It was during those actions, when F. Sergiy came. The reaction of Velegitskyi was immediate – shouting: “Call the police, here are the usurpers from Kiev” he rushed with his fists clenched to F. Sergiy who protected himself with a pepper spray.
At the call of Velegitskyi the police came and accused F. Sergiy of the following: F. Sergiy (height near 1.60 m) attacked four men, sprinkle to Velegitskyi with a pepper spray and beat him.
