Description

Time: nighttime

Place/Location: Intersection of prospct Pushkina & Prytytskoho avenues near the store '100 DEN'

Identity of the victim(s): young man sitting on the ground. He didn't do anything (not fighting back or anything). He didn't move from the ground until he got carried away in a rather aggressive way by four policemen.

Identity of the perpetrator(s): unidentified agents

A young man got apprehended by three policemen wearing all-black clothes and equipment from head to toe. The young man seemed to be conscious and didn't get beaten up by the police. He pretty much sat on the ground and didn't move at all as the three previous policemen and a fourth one picked him up off the ground in a rather aggressive way, using more force than necessary to move the guy from the ground up.

The police brought him back to some sort of van in the background, probably arresting him that way, for unknown reasons. End of the video with no further appearance.
