A 15-year-old girl from the neighborhood was beaten, followed, harassed in front of a mobile phone camera and even threatened with a knife in Innsbruck in June. The perpetrators were able to go into hiding at the time. But after extensive investigation, four suspects – two girls, two boys – have now been identified. The youngest is only 13.
It was a real ordeal that the 15-year-old girl had to endure in mid-June on Reichenauer Strasse in Innsbruck. According to the police, there was “mass bullying” by a group of young people at the time. In particular, two initially unknown girls targeted the victim, “hit her in the face and forced her to apologize for the camera of their mobile phone,” according to the detectives.
Chased and threatened with a knife
The 15-year-old then fled to a nearby youth club. “She was followed by a male group member and dangerously threatened with a knife,” investigators continued.
The perpetrators were able to go into hiding at the time. The police started the investigation and now report that four suspects have been identified. The two girls are 13 years old – an Afghan and a local resident. The two boys, 16 and 18 years old, come from Russia and Syria.
Complaints against criminals
“The two girls and the 16-year-old refused to testify, the 18-year-old Syrian denied any involvement in the crime,” the investigators said.
Corresponding reports will be filed. Against the criminally responsible suspects on suspicion of attempted serious bodily harm, coercion and failure to prevent a criminal act.
