Rapper PINQ, whose real name is Vlad Kozitsyn, was assaulted outside a Moscow nightclub. Observers say the incident occurred in the early hours after a night out at a club on Gruzinsky Val on December 3. According to witnesses, the musician was approached by a group of intoxicated individuals who then attacked him on the street. The exact sequence and motive behind the confrontation remain unclear at this stage.
PINQ was quickly attended to by emergency responders and transported to a hospital by ambulance. Medical officials diagnosed him with a broken nose, and he received treatment for his injury. Details about whether a formal police statement was filed or the incident has been officially documented are not yet public, and authorities have not released a formal update on the case.
In related news, a separate incident involving a well-known artist was reported earlier. A 39-year-old man named Dmitry, who allegedly had a dispute with Grigory Leps the night before, later appeared at the St. Petersburg district police department to file a complaint. After a December 3 concert at the Ice Palace, Leps reportedly visited Finnegan’s bar where a disagreement with a nearby patron reportedly escalated into a confrontation. The exact particulars of that encounter and any subsequent police actions have not been fully disclosed, leaving questions about what transpired that evening.
Across both stories, the common thread is tension that can flare into violence in crowded nightlife areas. Observers note that the incidents underscore the importance of crowd management, immediate medical response, and clear communications with authorities in the aftermath of street altercations. Until official statements are issued, details about injuries, motives, and potential legal steps remain speculative, and all claims should be treated with caution as investigations progress.
