Two victims still remain in Almaty hospital after the incident at the concert in Prime Plaza mall in Almaty, Tengrinews.kz reports citing the press-service of Almaty Healthcare Department. “Everyone else has been discharged. There are currently only two patients left. They will be discharged tomorrow, September 7. As we said earlier, 90 people applied for medical aide on August 31. Eight of them were hospitalized. The injuries were not serious, that’s why most of the patients were discharged shortly after,” the press-service writes. Late on August 31 around 2000 people gathered near Prime Plaza mall for a concert of a famous Kazakh pop singer Kairat Nurtas. The concert did not start on time and then the singer left the stage without even finishing the first song. The disappointed crowd started breaking through the fencing then raged at the parking lot and the ground floor of the mall shattering windows and crashing the equipment. The mob was using stones and glass bottles. Almaty police later identified the instigators who provoked the fight at the concert in Prime Plaza. They turned out to be three minors and three 18-y.o. young men. A criminal case was initiated. The investigation is underway. By Roza Yessenkulova
