The Odesa Patrol Police responded to a video showing patrol officers detaining a man and revealing that he was a military officer.

As explained by the police, the patrol crew responded to a call about a suspicious person on Levitan Street.

At the scene, the patrol officers found out that the suspicious person was a man who, according to the databases, was wanted as someone who had left the military unit without permission.

When asked to drive to a military law enforcement unit, the man began to actively resist and tried to avoid detention.

"After repeated warnings, the inspectors were forced to handcuff him," the police explained.

The detainee was handed over to representatives of the military law enforcement service.

A video posted on Telegram shows two patrol policemen forcibly pulling the man out of the car and handcuffing him.

Meanwhile, the TCC soldiers involved in the scandal with the beating of a doctor from Kharkiv in Odesa were suspended from service. On July 20, the Odesa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support launched an internal investigation into the incident involving the military personnel of the TCC and civilians, the video of which was posted on social media.

According to the victim's relatives, he met two buses with representatives of the TCC on the street, and ran away from one of them, while the other, according to relatives, allegedly hit the man, causing him to sustain numerous injuries, including broken ribs, one of which pierced his lung. He was also hit in the head with a bus door during the arrest.

On the eve of this incident, the Odesa Regional Territorial Center for Recruitment and Social Support responded to a video recording showing a woman trying to prevent her husband's detention and trying to prevent him from being taken away in a bus, but the military moved and dragged the woman several meters.
