Footage from the incident at the central pier was shared on social networks.

A fight broke out between a married couple and the security of the cruise ship “Empire” after the staff refused to let them board. Witnesses reported that the couple sustained injuries, but bystanders were afraid to call an ambulance to avoid involving law enforcement.

The Gelendzhik police stated that all individuals involved in the conflict have been identified. Authorities have launched an investigation.

Also of note: a driver and passenger of a motorized rickshaw. A conflict that escalated into a fight in the resort area of Adler became known through local social media.

The incident reportedly started when a vacationer asked the driver of an electric cart to move aside slightly to clear the pathway.

Empire

The term *Empire* likely refers to the **British Empire**, one of the largest empires in history, which at its height in the early 20th century spanned a quarter of the globe. Emerging from British colonial ventures in the 16th century, it grew through trade, conquest, and colonization, profoundly shaping global politics, economics, and culture. The empire began to decline after World War II, with most colonies gaining independence by the late 20th century.

(If referring to another empire, such as the Roman Empire or a specific cultural site, please clarify for a more precise summary.)
