A regular customer at a bar in Santiago de Cuba was involved in a fierce fight with one of the security guards of the establishment, in which the rest of the security staff and police officers did not intervene.
The events took place on Saturday, September 7, at the Bar-Cafeteria M'ka, located on the central streets of Santiago, Enramadas and Alameda, as reported on Facebook by independent journalist Yosmany Mayeta Labrada.
The fight, about which there are no precise details, began "almost at the closing of the nightclub," that is, around five in the morning, according to the establishment's hours that appear on its social media (from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.).
According to what Mayeta Labrada reported, the security guard “used his combat tactics to hit the young man.” The reasons that led to the altercation are unknown, nor is it clear if anyone was injured as a result of it.
A video sent to the journalist showed "how the young man fell to the floor after the 'fatal' blow dealt to him by the security worker, while his colleagues from M'ka looked around to ensure that no one would separate them."
"Ultimately, they separated when they decided themselves, and the client was removed [from the area]," added the informant, inviting the management of M'ka to share “their version of this unfortunate fight, in which a worker from the recreational facility was involved."
It is not the first time that disturbances have been recorded at this venue. According to Mayeta Labrada, “a well-known young entrepreneur from the city of Santiago, named Leo Mustelier, was hit in the eye by a security worker, which forced him to take medication for several weeks during which he had a bruised eye.”
Mustelier "did not take any legal action against the worker or against M'ka because their representatives visited the young man who was assaulted, and the aggressor himself personally apologized," added the reporter.
These events fall within the phenomenon of increasing violence that plagues the country, where misery, social unrest, and the lack of hope and alternatives for young people create a breeding ground that triggers base passions and violence among Cubans.
This Friday, news emerged of a fight that broke out in the municipality of San Luis, in Santiago de Cuba, where a mother-in-law and her son-in-law became embroiled in a heated argument filled with shouts and insults in the middle of the street.
The incident occurred in the town of Cuatro Caminos, and it began between the mother-in-law and the son-in-law, but then it escalated to the daughter and the man's alleged mistress, with both women coming to blows.
A video shared by journalist Mayeta Labrada showed the fight between the two young women, in which neighbors tried to mediate, while the man at the center of the dispute watched without doing anything.
There have been several reports of incidents of this type of violence in Santiago de Cuba. In April, a street fight that took place on the famous Trocha street left one person seriously injured, who had to be taken to a hospital.
In July, the people of Santiago expressed their concern on social media about a violent fight that broke out among young people on Colón Street. A video showed about 12 people involved in the confrontation, some wielding sticks and others throwing rocks.
Recently, a worker at a market in Santiago de Cuba did not hesitate to intimidate a customer with a bat who complained that they were being given less sugar than they were entitled to.
In each of these events, the inhabitants of that province are calling on the authorities to effectively combat the increasing violence that exists in the area, which has even cost many lives.
