Passers-by feared death when a man attacked them from the window in the immediate vicinity of the popular ice cream parlor “Tichy” with a hunting weapon – the air rifle was loaded. Now the 24-year-old had to answer for this before the lay court in Vienna. The court psychiatrist’s report is clear.
Red sneakers, mohawk, mustache: the 24-year-old suspect not only looks unconventional, he also behaves strikingly. And if you follow the statements of legal expert Peter Hofmann, it is dangerous: “Serious physical injuries are to be expected due to the psychosis. Thank God he still had enough control over the incident that nothing more happened.”
Suspect looked through the scope
This refers to June 12, when Mr. D. attacked passers-by from his apartment near Reumannplatz through the scope of his loaded hunting rifle. “A woman came running. She said a man stood by the window with a gun and pointed it at her. She was very scared,” recalls one of the witnesses in the Wiener Landl. “When I got out, the ‘sniper’ saw me and aimed directly at me.” Mr Rat wants to know if he was scared? “No, I am “afraid of nothing or no one,” the man said, to the surprise of the jury.
Prater sparked a passion for shooting
During his interrogation, the withdrawn defendant stated that he had gone to the Prater to shoot air rifles, but that the weapon he had purchased in the shooting cellar did not function very well. So he tested the focus from the window. In order not to be admitted to an institution for the time being, the man would now have to receive psychopharmacological treatment in prison. So far he has not been treated in custody – therefore postponed until December 13.
