"There was a fight in front of the newspaper’s office. There were a lot of men with bottles of beer in their hands. One of the men was very aggressive. I left the office to record video footage of the fight. The next thing I knew my head was spinning and someone said, ‘We’d better call the police,’" Ladyka wrote in his Livejournal blog.
