Catholic bishop Jan Sobylo attacked in Zaporozhie
The hooligan threw stones and trash on the territory of the cathedral, damaged a nearby monument to Polish prisoners of war, who were held in the camp of the NKVD in 1939-1940, and then rushed with fists at the bishop of the Kharkov-Zaporozhie diocese of the Roman Catholic Church Jan Sobylo. The bishop received minor injuries.
The staff members calmed the offender, detained him, tied him to a bench and called the police. The perpetrator was a 39-year-old resident of Zaporozhie.
The Catholic bishop is known for his harsh statements about radicals and anti-war sentiments. Earlier, Jan Sobylo said that Ukraine could not be sold for visa-free travel.
