In June, a group of young men beat a Kosovar man (21) into a coma on a platform at Bischofshofen train station. Security has been on patrol ever since – and it has now become safer for the local boss.
An act of violence at the train station caused a stir in Bischofshofen last summer: citizens noticed a crime problem in the station area and the municipality subsequently called in a security service that has been patrolling the area ever since. While the Salzburg Regional Court took up the case on Monday, the situation regarding crime now looks different: “The issue has been resolved. The measures taken have had an effect,” explains Mayor Hansjörg Obinger (SPÖ) when asked by “Krone”.
What exactly happened on the platforms on June 23? A group of Kosovars, including the later victim (22), were gossiping with a girl. Her ex-boyfriend, a Serb (16), saw this and gathered his friends – probably to beat the Kosovar out of jealousy. The youths brutally beat the 22-year-old. As a result of the violence, he hit his head against the hard platform – further punches and kicks to the victim lying on the ground followed. The 22-year-old lost consciousness and was in an artificial deep sleep for three days after the incident.
On Monday, the seven young people aged between 15 and 19 – two Austrians and two Serbs, as well as a Bosnian, a Turk and a Slovenian – will have to stand trial before a jury on charges of intentionally causing serious bodily harm with lasting consequences. implications.
