"Law enforcers have detained the suspect," the Internal Affairs Ministry stated on its website, specifying that the suspect is accused of robbery and interfering with journalists' professional activities.
On Thursday, two Russian LifeNews TV channel journalists were attacked while covering the rally in Kiev where some 2,000 people, including the former and current members of the Ukrainian parliament, marched through the streets carrying torches to mark the birthday of Ukrainian nationalist Stepan Bandera.
This was not the first time LifeNews journalists were attacked while working in Ukraine. Late in November, the channel's reporter Yevgeniya Zmanovskaya had been attacked in Kiev while she had been covering the disorders during the local football fans attempt to cut short the concert of a Ukrainian singer Ani Lorak.
