An incident at a cafe in Omsk ended with a man being wounded by a kitchen worker who had a history of multiple criminal convictions. The disclosure came from the press office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Omsk, confirming the event and its preliminary findings.
The victim, a 37-year-old individual, sustained a stab wound to the chest and was taken to a hospital where clinicians reported the injury to law enforcement authorities. The medical team described the patient’s condition as serious but stable enough to warrant ongoing care in the hospital setting.
During the ensuing examination, investigators determined that the victim had been resting in the cafe at the time of the confrontation and had been intoxicated. According to witnesses and the procedural findings, the victim engaged in repeated harassment of other patrons, which escalated into a heated exchange with the cafe staff. In the heat of the moment, the cafe employee, who has been identified as the establishment’s chef, stabbed the victim after their dispute intensified.
At present, the victim remains under supervision in the hospital’s intensive care unit as doctors monitor for potential complications related to the injury and administer necessary treatment. The case has attracted regulatory attention and is being treated as a serious offense with a focus on safeguarding patrons and staff within public dining spaces.
A 55-year-old local resident, linked to the incident, was detained by authorities and the weapon used in the assault was seized. Authorities noted that the detainee has a prior criminal record that includes offenses such as theft, robbery, and grievous bodily harm, which are factors under review in the ongoing investigation.
The investigation has been classified as a case of intentionally causing grievous bodily harm. If convicted, the legal framework prescribes a potential prison term that can extend for up to ten years, reflecting the severity of the injury and the circumstances surrounding the attack.
