He was taken to the police building where he was detained, because he is suspected of violent behavior, and plainclothes policemen were in a "civilian 'Toyota'" when they blocked the path of Piacun, who was riding a motorcycle, Blic said. .

"It all happened in the blink of an eye. The driver and passenger immediately ran out of the Toyota and, without any introduction or identification, began to beat Piacun. They knocked him to the ground, while one of them handcuffed him. They beat him while he was lying on his stomach, and one of them, for no reason or reason, took out a gun. At that moment, company security came running and only then did one of them take out an official ID card," Blic quotes the words of witnesses who were in front the building of the company "Ringier Axel Springer" in which the weekly NIN and the daily newspapers Blic, Alo and 24 sata are co-editors.
