The incident occurred the night before in the BeerHouse. An inebriated man for two days appeared in the restaurant: he behaved defiantly, tried to conflict with the staff.

On November 29, the man again came to the establishment and told the restaurant staff that he had previously been convicted of murder and that he was terminally ill, after which he showed the staff an object that looked like a grenade pin.
