A man in Kaunas harassed women and then fought with another man

A 1993-born man was arrested in Kaunas for harassing two women and later engaging in a fight with another man.

On March 11, at approximately 19:50, a man born in 1993 was reported by the Kaunas region police for harassing women on A. Juozapavičius Avenue. The incident involved two women, one born in 2006 and another in 1983, who were approached by the intoxicated man. Following the harassment, the situation escalated when the offender got into a physical altercation with another man born in 1972.

The police conducted a breathalyzer test on the harasser, revealing a high alcohol level of 2.81 promiles, indicating severe intoxication at the time of the incident. This level of blood alcohol concentration poses risks not only to his safety but also to the public and underscores the chaotic nature of the situation that unfolded in a public setting.

As a result of the events, an investigation has been commenced to address the violation of public order. The authorities may face pressure to respond firmly to the matter, especially given the ongoing discussions regarding safety in urban areas and harassment against women, marking this event as part of a larger societal issue.
