“You’re Causing Me Problems, F*ckwit.” Klitschko Tried to Throw Roofer Mustang off Bridge

The incident took place on Wednesday, July 2, between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m.

Ukrainian roofer Mustang (Hryhoriy Kyrylenko), widely known for organizing an action on a skyscraper in Moscow that repainted a star in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, spoke about a recent conflict with Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko.

According to Mustang, Klitschko tried to throw him off a pedestrian bridge into the Dnipro, accompanying his attack with verbal abuse. The capital’s mayor also demanded documents from the roofer, justifying this by saying that “the police are subordinate to him.”

Mustang managed to record part of the conversation on a dictaphone. On the audio recording, Klitschko calls the roofer a “f*ckwit” and says that creative people need to be “straightened out.”

Klitschko asked the police officers who arrived later to give the roofer a lecture so that he would not feel like climbing again next time.

The first to report the conflict on the Pedestrian Bridge was Islandiya TV channel journalist Serhiy Hryshyn. As Hryshyn wrote, between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m., police received a report that unknown persons were beating the Kyiv mayor on the Pedestrian Bridge.

Two patrol cars were dispatched to the scene, after which they reported that Klitschko was indeed on the bridge with unknown individuals.
