In Vologda, a heated exchange between two drivers escalated into a street confrontation, with video footage captured by an eyewitness and shared on social networks, according to the Vologda Region news agency.
The incident reportedly unfolded the day before near the Vologda Hotel on Mira Street. Eyewitnesses described the aggressor as an older man who initiated the dispute. The younger driver tried to disengage, stepping back to his car, yet the argument quickly turned physical as the elder man pressed the confrontation and a struggle began in the roadway.
From the available footage, it appears the younger driver knocked the older man onto the pavement, causing him to fall and strike his head. Bystanders nearby helped the injured person rise and move away from the immediate danger on the road. The full outcome of the clash remains unclear, but witnesses suggested the injured individual might have been employed as a taxi driver, while there was speculation that the person struck could have been a female passenger in the younger driver’s vehicle. These details come from local eyewitness accounts as reported by IA Vologda Region.
