KIEV (Reuters) - A man jumped on the car of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko as he was driven away from being questioned as a witness on Thursday over the sale of his shipbuilding plant to another businessman.

TV footage also showed the man spraying gas into the face of one of Poroshenko's bodyguards who had rushed to intervene, before being hit with an umbrella by another bodyguard. No one was hurt.
