As New Year’s Eve 2018 passed in Karaganda, this mid-size Kazakh city witnessed an incident that quickly escalated into a mass brawl.
As Karaganda’s Ancient Rome restaurant closed for the evening, a group of nine patrons refused to leave. The waiting staff, who included relatives of the restaurant’s owner, decided to forcibly eject the unruly diners into the street. The patrons called for back-up, and three cars arrived shortly after.
