On 14 August 2020, the police received a report around 8 pm that two men had clashed in one of the supermarkets in Debrecen. The patrols went to the scene and questioned them. As it turned out, the disagreement stemmed from the opening of a new checkout line and the 32-year-old man getting there first, but his partner, with the shopping cart, could only stand behind the man with whom they later on clashed. As the 40-year-old resident of Hajdúhadház did not let the woman pass in front of him in line, the younger man from Debrecen got angry and started arguing. They didn’t get to an agreement, but the 32-year-old man finally got out of line. However, their quarrel did not end at that point. After payment, they met each other again on the way out, but by then their hassle had already stopped.
The patrols took the two men to the police station, where investigators interrogated them. They both testified.
The Investigation Department of the Debrecen Police Headquarters initiated criminal proceedings against them for a well-founded suspicion of committing misconduct.
Police officers took the necessary procedural steps during the investigation and handed over the documents to the prosecutor’s office.
