Man sentenced for assaulting paramedic in St. Petersburg

Igor Ivashevich has been sentenced to 10 months in a settlement colony and ordered to pay 100,000 rubles in compensation for assaulting a female paramedic in St. Petersburg. The Vyborg District Court announced the verdict on June 17, following an incident in early February.

The incident occurred after an ambulance crew responded to a call at a residence on Khudozhnikov Avenue, where they found Ivashevich intoxicated and unconscious in a laundry room. As paramedics began to revive him in the ambulance, he became aggressive and attempted to leave.

During his attempt to exit the ambulance, Ivashevich struck the female paramedic on the head with a fist, causing her pain and a hematoma. He pleaded guilty to the charge of hooliganism.
