A series of brutal attacks on women occurred in Dnipro, shocking the city's residents. A video surfaced online showing a man attacking a girl. The defenceless girl fell to the ground as the perpetrator walked away. Unfortunately, there were many more similar incidents involving him.

What motivated the man who roamed the streets of Dnipro in Ukraine and attacked women he randomly encountered without a clear reason? A video surfaced online showing how he brutally hurt his victims.

The chilling video was uploaded to the X platform by the Nexta portal. City surveillance cameras recorded the video. It begins with an incident right at a pedestrian crossing. The man, coming off the crosswalk, suddenly attacked a woman he encountered on his path.

He hit her in the face, kicked her, and then, as if nothing had happened, walked away.

In the next part, we see the same man attacking another woman—he kicked her and then struck her in the face twice. Once again, he left only when she fell to the ground.

In the third segment, we see a person, likely also a woman, falling to the ground. After a moment, nearby people run to her aid.

A breakthrough in the case occurred thanks to the cooperation of residents, who provided valuable information to the police. The suspect was identified and apprehended based on the collected data and surveillance camera recordings. Witnesses described the man, who turned out to have a history of mental health disorders.

The police in Dnipro finally arrested the psychopath who attacked and beat pedestrians on the street—writes the Nexta profile on the X platform. The man will likely be sent to a psychiatric hospital, where specialists will take care of him. His aggressive behaviour may be a result of illness or war trauma, which is not hard to come by in a country battling a Russian invasion today.
