People chanted: “The police are with the people!”, “Berkut!”
The attackers destroyed everything in their path - glass, doors, locks, trying to get into the office of the head of the city department. Police officers in helmets and with shields tried to persuade them to prevent the storming of the office. A fight broke out, a shot was heard, and as a result, the activists beat the guards and the boss with sticks, and dragged him out into the street.

After this, people returned to the city department to force the remaining police officers there to leave. The Russian national flag was hoisted over the building.
After this, it was announced that the Gorlovka police battalion had completely gone over to the side of the people. Alexander Shulzhenko was proclaimed chief of police.
