As the street fight progresses, the alarming screams of a young woman are heard, and a neighbor expresses her concern about the possible consequences of the altercation and the absence of police.

The identity of those involved is not known, nor the cause that led to the fight, nor whether there were any victims or serious injuries in this case.

The incident adds to a series of violent clashes that have marked the recent carnivals of Santiago de Cuba, which began on Thursday and ended on Saturday.

During these holidays, several scenes of violence were recorded among attendees, especially one on the central Trocha street, which is one of the areas of the well-known Rumbón Mayor.

"Hot the carnivals," commented Mayeta, referring to another clash recorded during the pre-carnival in the city.

The rising violence in the streets of Santiago de Cuba is causing concern among residents, who feel that security is deteriorating rapidly and the police are not responding in time to intervene in these incidents.
