Gražvydas Sidiniauskas, a singer who does not hide his homosexuality, tells that he experienced an attack by three people at the Vilnius public transport stop, during which not only he, but also his heart friend was injured. The police present a slightly different version of this incident.
In detail, about what happened in the capital on the night of August 6, G. Sidiniauskas shared photos of him and his friend Darren, showing injuries, on his personal Facebook account. A well-known man agreed to tell the kauno.diena.lt portal a more detailed version of the events.
Trailers for strangers
“From Žiežmariai we headed to Vilnius. We arrived at 9.40 pm After leaving the station we went to the public transport stop to wait for the bus. I know you can’t smoke at the stops, so my boyfriend and I smoke at a distance of 20 meters, as it is written everywhere. A girl came up to us and asked, “What are you smoking here, rainbow?” She explained.
How could an unknown girl predict your sexual orientation? After all, she doesn’t shine it from afar, we asked. G. Sidiniauskas considered that said girl probably recognized him for being a singer, and perhaps such a reaction was caused by the hair dyed by Gražvydas’ friend.
“I said we don’t cause any problems when we smoke, leave us alone, what are you blowing us off? I spoke to Darren in English who had heard a hate speech. Suddenly, a man approached us in a military-style suit. He approached and asked excitedly, “So what, rainbow? Don’t abuse the children of our families. “I didn’t answer anything, but I told Darren that we had to get on the first bus that passed because we are going to have some inconveniences. As soon as the bus arrived and we started walking, I received the first blow “, opened the singer.
So what, you, the rainbow? Do not abuse the children of our families.
Kick and friend of the heart
After a blow to the neck, the interlocutor claimed to have lost consciousness. When she recovered it, G. Sidiniauskas said that she had not seen two at all, but already three people kicking her boyfriend, a girl and two men, who could be in their 30s. “I heard screams around me. At first I did not understand what was happening and, trapped in a state of affection, I ran towards them. I received a second blow. When I apologized, I saw that those people no longer existed and that Darren was thrown in the street. “I picked it up, put it on the sidewalk and called the police,” said the famous.

Leaving his heart friend sitting on the pavement when the police team arrived, G. Sidiniauskas said that he had come to tell them what had happened. However, the latter heard accusations that both he and Darren were intoxicated. Although, the singer told reporters on the portal that they were both sober. He said that when officers heard the version of the incident, he laughed and asked if the men needed medical help.
G. Sidiniauskas did not hide, he was worried about the health of his boyfriend, so he asked to call a doctor. However, after the examination, the two refused to go to the hospital. “Darren was shocked and said he wanted a house, so I told him, ‘If a man wants a house, I’m not really going to take him to the hospital.’ He also wanted to escape from what we lived through. It is inhumane and I don’t know how it can happen in the 21st century. We are not going that way, “said the singer, who was involved in an unpleasant incident with her boyfriend.
He said he still felt residual phenomena: pain in his neck and tongue, which he probably fell into after falling. And her boyfriend has a lot of back pain, the remaining scars on his knees and elbows are believed to have broken his bone as well. However, this will be confirmed or disproved by the health screenings that both plan to perform in the near future.
A different version of the police.
Revita Janavičiūtė, representative of the Police Department, confirmed that at approximately 2220 hours a report was received from a foreign citizen about the incident last Friday in the capital. However, this last version differs from the one narrated by G. Sidiniauskas.
“The police have been notified of possible fights. When the officers arrived at the scene, these people (Gražvydas and Darren – aut. Past) were possibly intoxicated, without being able to explain what had happened. Oh, according to witnesses, they clung to the woman at the stop, which was being defended by her husband. He pushed them, they fell. And the man and the woman simply left by public transport. We do not have a comment from them, “said the interlocutor.
When asked if the officials verified the sobriety of G. Sidiniauskas and his friend, R. Janavičiūtė stated that she did not know these details and could only specify the working day.
I do not justify such actions and we certainly will not leave it at that. Those guys were quite aggressive.
He added that neither G. Sidiniauskas nor his friend had any complaints. They did not need medical help, although the brigade had arrived. The men promised to assess the circumstances of the incident and, if they deemed it necessary, to contact officials and draw up a statement. However, yesterday (August 7) we did not receive the statement, “said the representative of the Police Department, adding that if other circumstances are clarified, the officers will launch an investigation.
After the investigation – to the police.
“After receiving the findings of the health investigation, we will communicate with the officials, because the police comment that we see in the media is very inaccurate. They write that there have been reports of ongoing fights in which about ten people have fought. And it tells the story that, for no reason, Darren pushed the girl, and those guys only separated us once. We collapsed and they got on the bus and left. The next time we were intoxicated. Well, that’s the story of the officials. It just can not be. As much as I and the people around me know Darren, he would not raise his hand against anyone. Also, we were sober, although perhaps they saw (due to disability, aut. Past) my eyes moving. So why didn’t officials monitor our sobriety and, if we were really intoxicated, didn’t they impose fines? Furthermore, when he was asked to present himself, he did not show his documents either, ”said G. Sidiniauskas, who has vision problems.

“It just came to our attention then. I could explain, and Darren screamed in pain. Here’s how you can understand: my boyfriend was in shock and we were accused of disengaging from drinking. I tried to explain myself and Darren screamed. I told him that calmed down, but could not, “he added.
The incident, according to a known man, may have been influenced by the recent “Great March for the Defense of the Family” in the capital. “The rhetoric of these people gathered at the public transport stop was very similar to that of the Long March for the Defense of the Family. I do not justify such actions and we certainly will not leave it at that. Those people were quite aggressive, “said the famous.
He added that although he has not yet received medical conclusions on the state of health, he has already sent a report on the incident on the night of August 6 to officials through epolicija.lt.
