Following a recent incident in Eskişehir where an individual launched a knife attack on people in a tea garden, a similar event has now occurred in Yozgat. In Yozgat, an individual attacked passersby with a knife.

In the incident that took place yesterday evening in the Sorgun district of Yozgat, 17-year-old Z.E.Y. stabbed everyone he encountered in front of the Huzur Site.

In the statement made on the Governor's Office's social media account, it was reported that on August 15, around 21:10, a child pushed into crime named Z.E.Y., who was under the influence of alcohol at a wedding held within a housing complex in Sorgun, injured one person with a knife in a way that would not be life-threatening due to an argument that broke out between them, and then fled.
