“Information has been received that the terrorist was undergoing psychiatric treatment,” the publication quotes the message.
As it became known earlier, the man hijacked a commuter bus.
He stated that the bus was mined and carried an automatic weapon and a large amount of explosives.
The Pershy edition reported that, according to the person who seized the bus, there are “many people in the cabin, there are pregnant women and children”.
Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Gerashchenko said on the air of the 112 Ukraine TV channel that the man threw a grenade from the bus, but it did not explode.
“The man who calls himself Maxim Bad, we think this is a pseudonym, threw a grenade out of the bus that resembles an F1. But this grenade didn’t explode because its pin was not pulled. We think that in this way he wanted to show that he has a military weapon and that he is dangerous, ”Gerashchenko said.
As reported, the bus can carry about 20 people.
