The OCU "priest" Mykola Khomyak, who gained notoriety for cursing and insulting a parishioner with vulgar language during the seizure of the UOC temple in Peches'ke, got into in a new scandal. In a video the UOJ avails of, Khomyak is seen causing a commotion in one of the state institutions in the Khmelnytskyi region.

In the footage, the "priest" expresses indignation that someone with a phone is filming inside the office where a policeman, several institution employees, and Khomyak himself are present. He hits the cameraperson several times with his fists, saying, "Did you ask me what you can film?! I'll film you on your beard right now!" Eventually, he takes the person's phone. The policeman remains inactive. How the incident with the OCU "priest" ended remains unknown.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that during the seizure of the Intercession temple in the village of Peches'ke in the Khmelnytskyi region, a cleric of the OCU cursed a parishioner, saying, "Shut the hell up, b**ch!"
