Yesterday, on August 5, a man with a Grenade in his hands was detained in the Dnieper River, on Hilarionskaya Street. The ammunition was pulled out of the check, so to prevent the explosion, the man kept the trigger mechanism for as long as he could. About it reports Informant. When patrol officers arrived, it became clear that the man had virtually no strength to hold the trigger, so the patrolman of the 2nd platoon of the 3rd company of the 2nd Battalion, Alexander Tsukanov, clasped his hands with his own. Even the two could not control the situation - the hands were tired, so the police decided to wrap them with tape to prevent the explosion.
