In one of the shopping and entertainment centers in Kharkiv, teenagers engaged in a mass brawl. As of now, the conflict has been resolved.
This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing Telegram from the Kharkiv regional police and local social media groups.
According to local reports, the fight took place near the "Nikolskiy" shopping mall. Videos shared online show an argument among a crowd of teenagers, which escalated into a fight involving pepper spray.
The police noted that around 18:36, a report about the mass brawl at one of the largest shopping centers in downtown Kharkiv was received by the district police department No. 1. Patrol officers and security personnel quickly arrived at the scene.
"It has been established that a conflict arose between the teenagers, which escalated into a fight. Additionally, the participants of the incident resisted the security personnel," the statement said.
The administrator of the shopping center has submitted a statement and explanation. The police are investigating the circumstances of the conflict to hold those responsible accountable.
It is worth noting that in September, a mass brawl occurred in Kyiv on Myria Street. According to the police, there were six participants in the conflict. At the same time, a source from RBK-Ukraine reported that the altercation happened when two couples were walking down the street and a man approached them.
