A resident of Serov is set to face a criminal charge of hooliganism for attempting to attack people who were visiting a cafe. The information comes from the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the Sverdlovsk region.

The incident unfolded on May 22. After spending time with a colleague at a local restaurant, the individual bought flowers for his wife and began the journey home. On the way, he decided to stop at another cafe on Lenin Street. He ordered a burger and waited as the meal was being prepared. As the cook worked, a group of visibly intoxicated young men entered the dining area. For reasons not made clear, the suspect began insulting the group. Then, without provocation, he moved into the cafe’s dining space, seized a knife and a pan from the premises, and started moving toward the group.

The cafe staff reacted instantly. They alerted the patrons to the danger and guided them outside while they themselves tried to maintain order inside. Moments later, the aggressor broke a window and fled onto the street. Police arrived promptly, secured the scene, and took the individual into custody at the location.

The episode adds another troubling scene from the night hours in Yekaterinburg, where a dispute over seating space led to a confrontation in a cafe setting. Observers stress the importance of calm and lawful conduct in public venues, especially during late hours when tensions can rise quickly.
