What happened
The incident occurred on August 23 in the Agrokhutor recreation park in the village of Velikaya Raevka.
During the Dozhinki festival, a drunk 54-year-old man took a glass bottle from a trash can, broke it and, holding the sharp-edged neck in his hand, went up onto the stage where the director of an agricultural enterprise was presenting awards to workers.
