A 23-year-old without a valid ÖBB ticket was asked to get out. After a verbal exchange of blows, he turned violent and hit the train conductor. He didn’t give up and fought back. “Then there was peace,” said the second suspect in court in Burgenland.
The unemployed Georgian, who lives in Mattersburg, would like to become a professional football player. Judge Doris Halper-Praunias wanted to know which club he played for. “Nowhere yet,” said the 23-year-old, who also seemed to be dreaming during the trial at the Eisenstadt court.
He did nothing, nothing at all. “I just wanted to get up. And after five seconds I had my fist in my face. I was immediately unconscious, so, well, almost.
On September 14, 2022, the Georgian was unable to show a valid ticket on the train from Mattersburg to Wiener Neustadt. He had no documents with him. So get off at the next stop! “I didn’t like the way the conductor spoke to me. Maybe I touched his forehead lightly. But I just wanted to discuss it.” The conductor shook his head again.
The dodger headbutted him and three punches. When I tried to keep him at bay with the outstretched arm, he was scratched. “Then I hit back two or three times, I don’t know exactly. What I do know: then there was peace.”
Although he really only wanted to get on the train, the main defendant apologized to the self-defense ÖBB employee and was acquitted, followed by a handshake. The dream frog accepted the sentence, conditional on three months.
