A security guard has been admitted to hospital in the Bulgarian capital with an injury he got while trying to curb a mass fight that erupted in a Sofia disco early on Christmas Day.
The 33-man got seriously wounded in his right arm after two groups of party-goers got in a melee in a club in the Studentski Grad quarter in Sofia.
"Studentski Grad" (i.e. "Student's Town") hosts the dormitories of the major Sofia universities but its discos draw people from across Sofia as they have become notorious for its "party culture", which often turns violent.
The Christmas Day incident occurred around 5 am on Saturday; the police found out about the mass fight only after the security guard was brought to the Pirogov hospital, and have failed to identify and arrest any of the participants.
The Pirogov emergency room has not reported any other major "Christmas" injuries and incidents.
