A concert in Spuž, Montenegro, turned chaotic when a public order disturbance erupted during a performance by the Amadeus Band. The incident, which occurred late Saturday night at a venue below the Zeta River bridge as part of the "Spuško leto" (Spuž Summer) festival, began with a verbal argument among several attendees.
According to a statement from the Montenegrin police, the dispute quickly escalated into physical altercations. Disturbingly, a police officer from the Danilovgrad Security Department, who was on duty at the event, was also attacked during the melee. Police intervened promptly to restore order and detained several individuals for questioning.
Following investigations, the state prosecutor in Podgorica determined that the incident did not constitute a criminal offense but rather violations of public order. Consequently, B.I. (42) and I.I. (36), both residents of Danilovgrad, were arrested. Charges were filed against them for offenses under Article 11 of the Law on Public Order and Peace, and they were subsequently brought before the Misdemeanor Court in Podgorica.
Video footage circulating on social media shows the incident beginning with minor jostling among concertgoers before rapidly devolving into a physical brawl. The event highlights a concerning breakdown of public order during a cultural gathering.
