How this accident could have happened will probably remain a mystery to many for a long time: a hunter is said to have confused a pony with a wild boar in Neulengbach (St. Pölten district). The man shot the animal and was now given a temporary weapons ban.
The incident took place in the town of Schwertfegen. The downed pony had to be put down. A temporary weapons ban has now been issued against the man.
Hunter used aim assist
According to his statements, he mistook the animal for a wild boar last Thursday evening, the police confirmed. The hunting association said he was using a night sight aid. According to the Lower Austrian Hunting Association, aiming aid is permitted when hunting wild boars and the man met the requirements for this.
A complaint has been filed and a report will be sent to the prosecutor’s office, police spokesman Raimund Schwaigerlehner said. The Public Prosecution Service will then decide whether a criminal offense has occurred.
