With 14 Kurds and Afghans in a van, a perpetrator raged through the night in Burgenland. The dangerous escape ended in a garden in Hornstein.
The tugboat raised the alarm around 11 p.m. on Friday. At the Helenenschacht in Ritzing he broke through the border and rode relentlessly towards a soldier. The recruit could only save himself by diving.
The Moldovan (29) then rumbled away behind the wheel of a van with 14 migrants. He entered the S31 and continued on to the A3. A large contingent of police gave chase. When police officers appeared close behind the van, the tractor zigzagged across the tarmac to block overtaking maneuvers.
End point in Hornstein
On the hellish ride through the villages, the driver did not stop at any stop sign, later he even drove over a barrier. Only in Hornstein was the last stop. The suspect ran away from the vehicle, as reported from the flight police cockpit. The 29-year-old holed up in the garden of a residential building on Bizonfystrasse. Detectives arrested him around 12:15 p.m. Saturday. 13 Turkish Kurds and an Afghan applied for asylum.
The SPÖ in the Eisenstadt district is shocked. “This incident, which took place next to my house, shows how dramatic the situation around the tractor is,” said deputy mayor Rainer Schmitl, a direct witness.
