"In the bag I saw cigarettes and small scissors, and I reported this to the KBT and they entered.
After about 10 minutes I hear shouting from the second floor and the branch manager says that there are beatings.
I went upstairs and saw the couple cursing the seller and apparently there was a fight.
I asked the girl and the guy to get out of the Mashbir.
"On the way out, they started a barrage of curses that even I am ashamed to repeat their words. I asked them once more to leave the branch, and then the girl attacked me.
