A dad seen here throwing a bucket of faeces over his son’s medical school teacher, whom he claims demanded a bribe of GBP 257 to give his son a pass, is facing four years in jail.
The incident took place at the medical students’ graduation ceremony at an unspecified location in the region of Bukovina in Chernivtsi Oblast in western Ukraine on 25th June.
The footage shows how the enraged father of a medical school graduate hurls a bucket of faeces at the female teacher while accusing her of extortion. Her dress is seen to be soaking wet after the attack with foul-smelling brown lumps left lying on the ground around her.
According to the man who carried out the attack, the woman had demanded a bribe of EUR 300 (GBP 257) from each of her students to issue them with their diplomas.
The man is seen accosting the teacher while surrounded by the goons he apparently invited along to intimidate her before he opens the green bucket and hurls its contents over her white dress.
The victim can be heard protesting her innocence in vain to the casually dressed man in the video that was filmed by an onlooker and later seen by the police.
According to reports, the woman also got in touch with the police herself to report her attacker, although neither of them have been named.
The man has since been placed under investigation for hooliganism and faces up to 4 years in jail if convicted.
There were no reports on whether the man’s allegations of extortion against the teacher are also being investigated.
