Law enforcement opened a criminal case over threats to a TCC notification team, the regional police report.

Authorities established that during a notification event, TCC servicemen, together with a police officer, found two men on the territory of a garage cooperative.

When asked to show documents, one of the men became aggressive: he threatened with an axe and threw two bottles with an unknown mixture at the TCC service vehicle, lighting one of them. He then locked himself in a garage.

Police negotiated with him, and he voluntarily left the premises. No one was injured.

According to the police, the man is a 1969-born resident of Ternopil who is wanted by the TCC for violating military registration rules.

A criminal case has been opened under Part 1 of Article 345 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine — threat or violence against a law enforcement officer. The article carries a penalty of up to three years in prison.

Authorities are currently investigating all circumstances of the incident and are considering the man’s detention.
