A food delivery cyclist disrupted a prayer gathering and counter-protest in Zagreb's main square on Saturday morning, engaging in provocative behavior. The incident, which lasted about two minutes, occurred around 9:30 a.m. as a group of prayer attendees, joined by women, were gathered in a designated area, with protesters also present on the square.

Witnesses reported that the delivery man approached the protesters, who were accompanied by drummers. He then allegedly raised his right hand in a salute, shouted "Long live Hitler," and proceeded to threaten one individual with a beating from his bicycle's stick. The man appeared unfazed by the presence of numerous police officers surrounding the prayer group.
