An event outside a bar in Yekaterinburg escalated from a tense dispute to a full blown brawl and an armed confrontation, with debris such as glasses and bottles flying toward staff and patrons. This sequence of chaos was reported by E1.
The trouble unfolded at Pashkin Bar on Rosa Luxemburg Street after two groups arrived and immediately clashed, turning a simple gathering into a violent altercation. The atmosphere hardened quickly as voices rose and threats were exchanged, leaving little room for calm or negotiation.
According to witnesses, a security guard attempted to intervene and separate the two sides, but the confrontation spiraled as provocations continued. Shards of glass and bottles were hurled not only at the people behind the bar but also at the customers near the dining area. At one point an explosion-like sound was heard, amplifying the sense of danger and panic within the venue. A bystander described how everyone rushed toward the back, with some rushing into the kitchen shouting that an armed individual had appeared, heightening fears of an imminent gun attack.
Emergency responders were dispatched promptly, and police units arrived alongside medical teams to manage the scene. Eyewitness accounts indicated that several attendees and staff suffered cuts from broken glass and other debris as chaos spread through the bar. The full extent of injuries and the status of those involved were still being assessed as investigators began to piece together how the incident unfolded and what sparked the confrontation.
In a troubling postscript, one observer noted that the same man appeared to have orchestrated the disturbance beforehand, targeting guards in a separate incident at a bar in Murmansk and raising questions about whether the violence was planned or spontaneous in nature. The authorities and bar management pledged to review security protocols and to cooperate with ongoing inquiries as they work to establish a complete timeline of events and determine the motives behind the clash.
