A brawl

Characters: police officers Pavliv (P) and Antoniv (A) and English tourist Mr. Smith (S).

Mr. Smith, an English tourist in Kyiv, calls the police station and informs them that he has just been beaten up. A patrol car arrives. The man's face is bleeding.

P: - Good evening, what’s happened? Do you need a doctor?

S: - (very excited) I was beaten up.

A: - Calm down, please. Who beat you and why?

S: - I was walking around and noticed two youngsters kicking off the mirrors and breaking the aerials of parked cars. When they saw me, they immediately came towards me and began hitting me with their fists. I fell to the ground and screamed for help. Then they stopped beating me and ran away.

A: - In what direction did they run?

S: - There, into the park on the bank of the Dnipro.

A: - Can you describe the assailants?

S: - Both were approximately 18 to 20 years old. Both wore blue jeans, dark leather jackets and white trainers. The first was approximately 1 m 80cm tall, of big build and had short smooth black hair. The second was about 1m 75cm and slim. He had shoulderlength red hair. I can't give you any further details because everything happened so quickly.

P: - We're going to put out an alert. Would you be able to identify the sus­pects in a line-up?

S: - Yes, I think so.
