Three arrested after maternity ward dispute escalates to street brawl

A dispute between two patients at Brașov Maternity Hospital escalated into a street brawl, resulting in the preventive arrest of three men from Covasna County. The incident began Tuesday when one patient allegedly asked her roommate to wash, citing body odor.

The roommate, from Covasna County, reportedly called her husband, who then mobilized relatives. The argument, initially confined to the hospital, spilled outside after hospital security intervened. The group continued their disturbance in front of the hospital, prompting a passerby to call the police.

When police arrived, the individuals had already left, but officers identified their vehicle and stopped it. According to investigators, the occupants became aggressive towards the officers and attempted to flee, scattering into the surrounding streets. Seven people, five men and two women, were apprehended and taken to the police station for questioning.

Following the investigation and evidence gathered, three men were charged with assaulting law enforcement officers, complicity in assaulting officers, and disturbing public order. They were subsequently issued 30-day preventive arrest warrants on Wednesday.
