Officials in Novosibirsk opened a formal inquiry after reports of a mass clash among road maintenance workers. The information was summarized by ngs.ru, citing the local police department.
The Kalininsky district police department confirmed they received notifications about disturbances on the scene. Two patrol teams arrived but found no participants present, and there were no requests for medical assistance. An official with the ministry indicated that the investigation is ongoing.
The incident reportedly took place on the evening of October 7 near the Oleko Dundicha public transport stop. Video footage appears to show several individuals in road crew uniforms engaging in a large-scale altercation using improvised weapons. Shovels, brooms, and similar tools were employed in the confrontation, and at one point a participant fired a shot into the air.
Earlier, there were scenes in Krasnoyarsk where a group of men gathered in a parking area near Karaulnaya Street, house 82. One participant wielded a baton-like object and struck another person multiple times in a fight involving about ten individuals. It was unclear how the incident concluded and whether police were alerted at the time.
Previously reported events in Bashkiria involved a traffic police officer and an inspector in a confrontation linked to a girl, drawing attention to workplace or public-order tensions (source: ngs.ru). These incidents underscore ongoing concerns about public safety and the handling of disputes among workers in urban settings. (ngs.ru)
