As it became known, the incident occurred on the evening of February 1. According to the administration of the ski resort, a group of drunk foreign guests provoked a conflict with employees of the ski school.
As it became known, one of the guests did not like that he had to wait a long time for the cashier, who was busy at that time. At some point, the verbal conflict with the employee escalated into a physical clash on the street. The employees called the police.
"While waiting for the police in the area of the landing zone of the ‘Combi-1’ cable car, the resort employees - the instructor, the lift operator, and the rental staff - attempted to resolve the situation and called on the participants in the conflict to remain calm. However, the guests continued to make aggressive statements... Due to the worsening situation, a rapid response team (RRT) arrived at the scene, but the verbal altercation escalated into a repeated physical clash," the administration reported.
The incident was stopped by the resort's security service.
"The offenders were handed over to law enforcement officers. In connection with the incident, an internal investigation was immediately conducted, and the necessary measures were taken in accordance with established safety standards," the Shymbulak administration reported.
All participants in the incident were taken to the district police department to clarify the circumstances. Currently, a pre-trial investigation is underway against the participants in the conflict from the guests under the article "Hooliganism."
Previously, a video showing a group of young men throwing objects resembling stones at the cable car at "Medeu" was discussed on social media.
