In Lviv, an indictment has been submitted to court against a 43-year-old Lviv resident accused of assaulting two female ticket inspectors from LKP «Lvivavtodor» during a journey on public transport.
According to law enforcement officers, the incident occurred on 7 June at around 14:50 at the junction of Stryiska and Khutorivka streets.
