None of them introduced themselves to the audience and did not show official documents. According to eyewitnesses, when a woman approached him to explain what was going on, he started yelling at her, pushing her, grabbing her by the shoulders and demanding to comply with the demands of a police officer, although he had not previously proved that he really was one.
