As Vijesti has learned, Kontic agreed to be turned over to Serbia under expedited procedure.

He was arrested yesterday in a rented apartment in the Montenegrin capital. Serbia issued an international arrest warrant for him on suspicion that he broke M.M.'s arm.

The incident happened in front of a bar in Jevrejska Street in Novi Sad, and the beating was recorded by security cameras.

He is charged with attempted murder.

The public was appalled by the video of brutal violence showing at that time unidentified perpetrator beat an unconscious young man. As can be seen in the video, passers-by and security tried to separate him from the victim, but without success.

Complete chaos arose only later, when the attacker turned the beaten and unconscious man on his stomach and started breaking his arms.

The cause of this horrific violence has not been revealed, nor have the details about the health condition of the victim.
