Politician thrown in bin

An angry crowd threw a Ukrainian MP into a skip outside the country’s parliament in Kiev.

A group were filmed shoving Vitaly Zhuravsky before dumping him head first into the bin filled with rubbish.

The MP was still gripping his briefcase as he tried to climb out, held down by his head as members of the screaming and swearing mob tossed a tyre on top of him.

Before he could free himself, liquid from what looked like a drink can was poured over his head and a woman was heard shouting in Russian: “Boys, let me kick him at least one time.”

Once a member of ousted President Viktor Yanukovych’s Party of the Regions, the MP became unpopular in January after he authored a bill tightening restrictions on anti- government protesters.
