In Vsevolozhsk, an incident at a cinema led to a criminal case after a man quarrelled with three visitors who had insulted his partner. The event was shared on a Telegram channel associated with Mash on the Moika.
According to reports, a 31-year-old local resident attended the cinema with his domestic partner and a child. During the screening, he spoke in a sharp, disrespectful manner, while a trio in the auditorium watched the film. The man issued a warning to them, and in response, the three visitors directed insults at his partner. What began as a heated verbal exchange quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.
The man then struck one of the visitors, a 27-year-old sailor, with a forceful blow. The injured man required urgent medical care, and doctors diagnosed him with an open head injury, a concussion, and a broken nose, necessitating hospital admission and treatment.
A few days after the incident, law enforcement detained the 31-year-old man, and investigators opened a criminal case accusing him of causing grievous bodily harm. Reports indicate that the suspect may have a prior criminal record, which could influence the ongoing proceedings and potential sentencing.
In a related note, the same individual was previously involved in another confrontation. During a separate journey to Samara, he allegedly stood up for a girl and subsequently assaulted a bus conductor in a separate incident.
