We report the spectroscopic classification of nuclear transient discovered by OGLE. The spectra were obtained using the FOcal Reducer/low dispersion Spectrograph 2 (FORS2) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT). The target was selected from OGLE-IV Real-time Transient Search (http://ogle.astrouw.edu.pl/ogle4/transients/ Wyrzykowski et al. 2014). Spectroscopic classification was done using SNID code (Blondin & Tonry 2007).
