This is the shocking moment a raging audience member yanked a woman’s ponytail and struck her in the back after her view was blocked during a concert in Kyiv.

The clash took place during a performance by Ukrainian singer Dmytro Volkanov on Monday night in the war-torn nation’s October Palace venue in the capital city. 

According to Ukrainian broadcaster 112 UA, two unnamed concert-goers jumped up from their seats and started dancing to the singer’s ‘I Found You’, infuriating a blonde woman behind them. 

Footage posted to social media platform TikTok shows the two women, who are standing up, arguing with the audience member behind them. 

They exchange a few words, but the two women continue dancing, which appears to further infuriate their fellow concert-goer, as she responds by shoving one of the women. 

But the push is not enough to stop the women from dancing. 

The audience member then resorts to yanking the woman in front of her’s pony tail, which results in their dispute escalating, with the two music fans exchanging a few shoves. 

Another woman, who appears to be a staff member of the venue, is seen intervening before the video comes to an end. 

The clip has racked up nearly 168,000 views on social media, with several users condemning the two women for standing up in the middle of the concert and blocking everyone else’s view. 

‘Being in the front row of any event and standing up when no one else is… that’s some entitlement’, one TikTok user commented. 

‘I understand the woman. Why the hell should she watch them dance, she wants to watch the concert’, another wrote. 

However, several other viewers came to the defence of the dancing women, noting that they had every right to enjoy the concert. 

‘That’s what the concert is all about, people go to feel the whole atmosphere and not come and sit down’, one said, while another commented: ‘If I buy a ticket for a concert, best believe I will enjoy and dance!’. 

Others commented on the audience member’s unreasonable to the women’s dancing, noting that there were other ways the issue could have been resolved. 

‘And what right does she have to push a girl or pull her hair?… If you don’t know how to communicate and resolve conflicts adequately, don’t go to society’, one user wrote. 

The concert fight comes a week after singer Neil Young cancelled his concert in Ukraine over security concerns. 

The Canadian-American musician had said last month that he would play a free concert in war-torn Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia in February 2022.

‘Our concert in Ukraine is canceled,’ Young said in a statement last week.

‘We had a good venue, close to a shelter, but the changing situation on the ground was too much. I could not in good conscience take my crew and instruments into that area. My apologies to all. Ukraine is a great country with a good leader. Slava Ukraini.’

It comes after Russia effectively rejected a US proposal for a full and immediate 30-day halt in the war, while both countries are preparing for a spring-summer campaign on the battlefield, according to analysts and Ukrainian and Western officials.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said late Sunday that there has been no reduction in Russia’s attacks as it drives on with its invasion of Ukraine that began in February 2022.

‘The geography and brutality of Russian strikes, not just occasionally, but literally every day and night, show that Putin couldn’t care less about diplomacy,’ Zelensky said in his daily address.

‘And almost every day, in response to this proposal, there are Russian drones, bombs, artillery shelling, and ballistic strikes,’ he said.

He urged further international pressure on Moscow to compel Russia to negotiate, including new sanctions.
