A restaurant owner in Primošten hit a stroller and put an innocent guest in trouble

A restaurant owner in Primošten struck a child’s stroller and caused trouble for an innocent guest, according to reports from local media. The incident took place in the small town of Primošten, where one restaurant owner allegedly violently hit a baby stroller belonging to guests from another establishment. Police have already detained the individual, and the other restaurant, which shares the same name, is now facing repercussions due to the viral video. The footage, released by the municipality of Primošten on Tuesday, shows a man holding two wooden advertising signs with the name “Restoran Rudina” in his hands. He suddenly strikes the baby stroller near a couple in another nearby establishment. The man immediately stands up and confronts him, at which point the recording cuts off. The video has sparked outrage across Croatia, with officials condemning all forms of aggressive, intimidating, or inappropriate behavior toward customers. They called for appropriate action to be taken against such conduct. According to the Croatian portal Index, police officers arrived at the scene shortly after being informed of the incident and arrested the suspect. A criminal investigation into the circumstances surrounding the violent act is ongoing. However, the motive behind the aggression remains unclear. The man, identified as Ante Luketa, is the owner of the local restaurant Rudina, based in Primošten. The controversy has extended beyond the immediate location, affecting another restaurant bearing the same name. This second establishment, located in Kaštel Novo, over 40 kilometers away, has faced negative reviews on its Google profile following the release of the video. Toni Ivanišević, the owner of the Kaštel Novo restaurant, has publicly clarified that the two establishments are separate, operated by different owners in different towns. He urged anyone considering leaving feedback to verify whether they were referring to the correct restaurant. “I am calling on everyone to check before posting reviews whether they are referring to the right restaurant. Our restaurant in Kaštel Novo has nothing to do with the incident in Primošten or the individuals mentioned in this case,” Ivanišević stated through the Dalmatinski portal. The situation highlights the potential for confusion when businesses share similar names, especially in regions where multiple locations exist. While the incident in Primošten has drawn public attention and condemnation, the fallout for the restaurant in Kaštle Novo underscores the broader implications of online visibility and reputation management. Local authorities continue to investigate the incident, while both restaurants remain under scrutiny. The outcome of the legal proceedings will likely determine the extent of consequences for the accused. Meanwhile, the community awaits further developments.
