According to Lenta, the company shared a statement that read, "Cooper strongly condemns the actions of the courier involved in the incident. His identity has been established, and cooperation with him has been immediately and permanently terminated."
It further added, "All materials and information in Cooper's possession have been promptly transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. We continue to provide full cooperation and insist on a prompt and rigorous legal review of his actions within the law."
CCTV footage captured on November 2 recorded the unhinged moment when the elderly woman fell to the floor in shock, while the deliveryman continued walking as if nothing had occurred.
While several reports didn't reveal the man's motives, Eastern European media Nexta stated on X (formerly Twitter) that he reportedly kicked the elderly woman "for fun."
