How told Kasatkin, in an interview with RBC, having arrived at his workplace after the trial, he went to Ivanov to find out the current situation in the city, but he was not in the office, so the mayor decided to wait for him in the lobby. According to the mayor, when his deputy appeared, he suddenly began to scream.
“I asked:“ Do you want to fight me? He presses on me, I hold his hands so as not to get hit in the face, I try to calm him down. He grabbed my shirt and tore it. And there is a tiled floor. I slipped. We fell together. I hit my head on the tile. I try to get up, he kicks me in the face. The second time he hits on the back. That is, when I got up, he kicked me in the head and in the back, ”Kasatkin said. He did not specify the reason for the conflict with Ivanov.
As a result, the mayor decided to write a statement to the police against Ivonov. He added that he was not seriously injured, but decided to take sick leave.
