The incident was recorded by security cameras, which documented the movements and confrontation from 05:14 to 05:20:28. At the end of this period, Sokrat Vata leaves toward the “Principotes” venue, accompanied by the business’s waiter.

About a minute later, at 05:15:22, Davit Heuertvent and Sokrat Lipan (Vata) approach from the southern side of the “Principotes” parking area. The latter is wearing a white shirt. They head toward the group where the foreign nationals are located.
