"He was attacked near his house by several" titushki ", now he is going to the police, and from there - to the hospital," RBC quotes a representative of Zhukov.

According to him, the young man's face is "straight soft-boiled", but "walks on his own and in a positive way."

Earlier, Zhukov's team said on the Telegram channel, citing eyewitnesses that the attack was carried out by two people who later fled on scooters. 

The Interior Ministry has not yet commented on the incident.

On December 6, Zhukov was sentenced to three years probation in the case of incitement to extremism in videos published on YouTube. He was also banned from administering sites on the Internet for two years.

In February, the Moscow City Court recognized the verdict as legal.
