Bauhof boss Josef M. (54) from Schalchen (Upper Austria) was unable to work for more than a week after a brutal encounter with a rabid contemporary. He was the victim of two attacks after he asked a 49-year-old to move a parked car away so that he could come with the snowplow.
The incident happened on January 21 around 3 p.m. on Waldstrasse in Schalchen, where M. cleared the road of snow. “I’ve been on duty since 4 a.m. that day. It all happened half an hour before the end of the work day – it was the last lane I wanted to clear,” says the depot manager. resident’s car.” Then I asked his daughter-in-law to tell him not to park there.”
Apparently it was to no avail
Because just two days before the most recent incident, one of his colleagues from the cleanup service failed again. “He had no choice but to push backwards for 300 meters – it’s no fun in the snow,” the 54-year-old insists. To his chagrin, the white van blocked the road again on Saturday.
Two slaps to the face
“I honked loudly. The car owner then came out of the house with a younger man.” M. tried to make it clear to the 49-year-old that it was forbidden to roughly convert the street into a private parking space. “He scolded me and then suddenly hit me twice in the face with both hands replied – I really saw stars. Immediately afterwards he completely knocked me to the ground.” The 100 kilo victim saw that the opponent also wanted to attack him with his feet.
Treated with cortisone
“But the younger man stopped him. I was able to drag myself to the tractor and get to safety.” M. alerted the police, his wife took him to the hospital, where a bruised cheekbone and tinnitus were diagnosed: “I had to be treated with cortisone, had a severe headache for days and a murmur in my atrial appendage.”
The attack shocks him
“I’ve worked for our municipality for 28 years, was chief of the fire department for 15 years and deputy before that. I’ve always stood up for the community. It was the first time someone physically attacked me – that’s really sad!”
