Two men, aged 51 and 27, have been detained for 24 hours after allegedly assaulting a police officer responding to a disturbance at a bar in Faraoani commune, Bacău County, police said.
According to the Bacău County Police Inspectorate, the incident occurred on the evening of Aug. 29, at around 8:30 p.m., after a bar employee called the national emergency number 112 to report that several customers were behaving aggressively inside the premises.
