Punchfest in Longyearbyen
Hard to believe, but it has happened: in the late evening on Monday, a large number of young men got engaged in a robust fight in a bar in Longyearbyen. The service personnel of the SvalBar did not have any choice but to ring the police. In the past, the SvalBar used to advertise with a slogan that only those who really deserve it would be kicked out. There are obviously some more people who have joined this doubtful club now.
For reasons not yet known, two groups of young men started to fight so vigorously that the staff had to call the police to stop the punchfest. One man had to go to hospital. The exact number of persons involved is so far unknown. The police is investigating.
As recently as last week, a man got a fine of 8000 Norwegian Kroner because of aggressive behaviour in one of Longyearbyen’s pubs.
Not always as peaceful as it should be: the polar night in Longyearbyen
