In Sochi, a picketer was attacked by unknown assailants

Dmitry Titkov, who today, October 7, stood for two hours at a single picket in support of Alexei Navalny, was attacked by a group of provocateurs. The oppositionist himself told Kavkaz.Realii about this.

“Six bearded and muscular guys ran up to me. They tore the poster and then started threatening me. Then they ran up to the girl who started filming what was happening and broke her phone,” he said.

After the incident, Titkov was tied up by the police and taken to the car. Now the activist is being taken for examination for alcohol intoxication.

One of the attackers writes a statement against Titkov because he allegedly insulted him.
