One of them pounced on me, they say, who are you, and what's speakers. Went verbal sparring and in the end he hit me. They said - if you do not stop to carry the paper, machine, or blow up or burn. When they left, they said, God forbid that once again I see. Like, we warn you for the third time will not, "- said the driver. By the arrival of the police the attackers fled.

Also, there was an attempt to attack the promoter at the station "Dorohozhychi": the guy who distributes newspapers at the crossroads of the car drove up with the numbers of AA 2731 RH logo and "right quadrant."
