The excitement about an almost unbelievable action in the outdoor pool in Steyr (Upper Austria) is great: a lifeguard is said to have “transported” a young man involuntarily from the ten-meter tower into the water. Now the lifeguard has been temporarily withdrawn until the matter is cleared up. witnesses contradict each other.
As reported, eyewitnesses had seen on Sunday how a young man was standing on the diving tower, but did not want to go down. Two lifeguards would have verbally asked the guest to leave the tower. When he failed to comply with the request, one of the two climbed the tower towards him – and allegedly kicked the gentleman down. This is how the scenes represent at least some users in social networks who were in the outdoor pool.
Lifeguard withdrawn
The Stadtbetriebe Steyr, which operates the outdoor pool, announced on Thursday: “There is no doubt that the lifeguard did not behave properly. He was therefore verbally warned by his superior on August 14, 2023. It will not be used in the outdoor pool again until the facts of the case are fully clarified.”
Conflicting statements
However, the statements of the eyewitnesses would partly contradict each other. The young man who would have been pushed off the diving tower is also not known to the city authorities: “EHe has not complained and has not contacted us.” The city council now wants to “make every effort to clarify the matter”.
