As a result of a special operation in Khmelnytskyy Region, the KORD detained a man who had shot at two police cars and injured a police officer and a civilian.
This was reported by the National Police of Ukraine.
The incident occurred on the night of 14 September in the village of Oleshyn, Khmelnytskyy territorial community. The crew of the patrol police response team stopped a local resident's car to check the reasons for the movement during the curfew.
According to the police, the driver was driving under the influence of alcohol - a Drager test showed the presence of 1.27 ppm of alcohol in his body.
Law enforcement officers drew up a report against the driver and then he went home, allegedly to resolve the issue with the vehicle, while leaving his friend in the car.
"The driver returned to the scene with a Kalashnikov rifle and began shooting at law enforcement officers," the police said in a statement.
The attacker fired 60 rounds from a Kalashnikov at the police officers and police cars. The police returned fire and called for help.
As a result, the shooter wounded one of the police officers and a passenger in the car.
"They were taken to hospital for medical care. The police officer is in a serious condition. Two police cars were also damaged: one of the crew that stopped the attacker, the other of the special forces officers who arrived on call to help their colleagues," law enforcement officers added.
