The employee of the Center for Urban Mobility (CGM), accused of assault in the center of Sofia, remains in custody. This was decided by the Sofia District Court.
The measure can be appealed within three days, bTV specified.
Among the court's reasons is the existence of a real danger of committing a crime, despite his clean criminal record and the assessment that there is no danger of absconding.
The court did not accept the defense's claims that the actions of the CGM employee were in unavoidable self-defense due to a lack of evidence for this. And he pointed out that before the physical attack there was only a verbal altercation.
The Sofia District Prosecutor's Office requested the most severe measure - detention in custody. The defense, in turn, requested the lightest - a recognizance.
The City Mobility employee is accused of causing minor bodily harm to two people.
We recall that the incident occurred on August 27 in the area of the intersection of “Dondukov“ Blvd. and “Dunav“ St.. It became clear about it from a video clip distributed on social networks, which shows blows with the head and hands.
