The mother of a 16-year-old girl who was wounded in the incident said:
"These people were walking around with a knife, they cut her 20 centimeters long and five centimeters deep - a girl went to eat dinner. People do not walk in the evening with knives in their pockets. My daughter was not involved in this event, these monsters wounded my daughter. She has no connection whatsoever with these scum of the earth."
