A Ukrainian politician was surrounded by protestors who threw him into a dumpster on Tuesday before holding him down, splashing him with water and smacking him with a stray tire.
The subject of the dumping, Vitaly Zhuravsky, is a former member of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych’s political party and reportedly had a hand in legislation restricting freedom of speech in the months leading up to the country’s regime change, according to The Washington Post.
After Zhuravsky was pelted with the tire, nearby security began to wheel him away in the dumpster before he crawled out of the container and fled.
Reuters reported that the attack came just after the new government agreed to a ceasefire with pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine, which has particularly angered the country’s right wing.
“We live in a country where blood flows because of you,” yelled one protester, according to Reuters.
Zhuravsky, who remains a member of parliament, claimed the attack was probably enginered by his opponents in an upcoming election.
