The shocking incident took place on Saturday, October 12, at a wholesale flower business located on Andızlı Street in the Altınova Düden neighborhood of Antalya's Kepez district. According to the information obtained, flower bouquet photos shared on social media by the wife of Kıvanç Ş. (44), who is understood to be a foreign national, were screenshotted by F.Y., the sister of Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı (29), and shared on the business's social media account. A dispute broke out between Kıvanç Ş., who noticed the photo, and Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı over the sharing of the image.
LEFT HIM IN A COMA WITH A SINGLE PUNCH
Stating that his sister had made a mistake, Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı apologized to Kıvanç Ş. and deleted the photos from social media. However, angered by the sharing of his wife's photos, Kıvanç Ş. went to the flower warehouse where Yıldırıcı was in the evening. Entering the warehouse with Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı, Kıvanç Ş. suddenly began to strike Yıldırıcı. In the incident, which was captured second-by-second on security cameras, Yıldırıcı collapsed to the ground after receiving a punch, while Kıvanç Ş., whose anger did not subside, continued to hit him. At that moment, the business owner A.O. entered and tried to calm and remove Kıvanç Ş. Upon the incident being reported to the 112 Emergency Call Center, police and medical teams were dispatched.
TREATMENT CONTINUES IN INTENSIVE CARE
Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı, who was unconscious, was taken by ambulance by 112 Emergency Health teams to Kepez State Hospital, while Kıvanç Ş. was detained by patrol teams arriving at the scene and taken to the police station. It was learned that Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı, who was admitted to intensive care and suffered a brain hemorrhage, remains in critical condition, while Kıvanç Ş. was arrested by the court after his procedures at the police station and sent to prison. On the other hand, it was learned that the warehouse owner A.O. suffered a heart attack shortly after the incident in which his nephew Eşref Yunus Yıldırıcı was seriously injured and is currently receiving treatment in the hospital.
