In Kamianske, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, a police service vehicle in reverse ran over a man who was lying on the roadway. The victim was hospitalized with injuries, and the police launched an investigation into the actions of their officers.

The incident occurred on September 1 after police completed a "preventive sweep of the district," according to the Dnipropetrovsk Oblast police.

According to preliminary information from law enforcement, a conflict arose between officers from Police Station No. 1 of the Kamianske District Administration and local residents. One man began hitting the service vehicle.
