A police officer visited Margarita Yudina in the hospital, whom he kicked at a protest in St. Petersburg. He gave her flowers and apologized. The video was published by several Telegram channels, as well as REN TV, the name of the policeman is not given.
The policeman explained his actions by the fact that he did not see what was happening because of the fogged visor. However, the video posted by Fontanka shows that the visor was lifted from him. “I would like to offer my deepest and most sincere apologies. Excuse me, five minutes before that I was flooded with gas, my visor was fogging up, I did not see what was happening. I swear to you, this situation is shocking for me. When I found out what happened, it was a personal tragedy for me, ”the policeman said on the video.
Ms Yudina accepted the apology and asked the policeman not to worry. After being injured on January 23, she ended up in intensive care. Now she was discharged from the hospital, the press service of the St. Petersburg health committee TASS reported.
