On Thursday evening, right in the heart of Novi Pazar, in front of the state university, chaos erupted in the form of a massive brawl involving several young people. What started as a verbal argument quickly escalated into a physical fight on the sidewalk next to a parked car. Citizens tried to intervene but failed. People just stood and watched, some attempting to break up the fight, but the conflict was too intense.
Security cameras captured the entire incident, and the police promptly arrived on the scene, taking the footage to identify the participants. According to unofficial information, several people sustained minor injuries, but official details have yet to be released.
This incident casts a shadow over the safety of the city center and shows how easily a verbal dispute can turn into violence that endangers everyone present. Is this just the tip of the iceberg of youth violence problems in Novi Pazar? The police are on the case, but citizens are tired of just watching and waiting.
If you think this is just another ordinary fight, think again. In the city center, in front of the university where peace and education should prevail, a real chaos broke out. While the police try to catch the culprits, others wonder – what’s next? Will violence become the new normal?
