KhS Kharkiv administrators also posted on social media the testimony of a purported witness to the incident. He claims the incident happened in the night of March 9 and that the security guard did not beat the woman but intervened on her behalf. According to him, the woman was punched by another man, and the guard in turn hit the attacker, but the people filming the incident on their phones allegedly did not understand the situation.

After this, the purported victim herself contacted KhS Kharkiv; she is in hospital with a broken jaw. She claims it was the security guard who beat her. The woman wrote that she would "do everything to make him answer under the law".
