The driver confrontationally asked, "Why are you approaching me?" before striking the officer. He actively resisted the officer's lawful duties and inflicted physical harm.
Authorities have initiated a criminal case against the driver under Article 219-2 of the Criminal Code for resisting a government official or a person carrying out a public duty, and under part "d" of Article 277-3 for committing hooliganism. The driver was taken into custody in accordance with legal procedures.
