After the brutal attack on a defenseless 81-year-old on Saturday in Innsbruck, the suspect (37) is now in prison. The suspect is said to have brutally knocked down the pensioner and seriously injured him. The public prosecutor has ordered the imposition of pre-trial detention.
The brutal attack took place around 10am last Saturday. The 37-year-old resident allegedly violently hit the 81-year-old on the sidewalk on Andreas-Hofer-Strasse in the middle of Innsbruck. The police spoke of ‘targeted punches in the face’ and ‘kicks in the hip area’.
Defensive attempts with pepper spray were in vain
With his last strength, the victim tried to defend himself with pepper spray. But in vain. According to police, as a result of the attacks, the senior suffered fractures to the shoulder joint and hip bone area, as well as lacerations to the back of the head and lip. The seriously injured man was taken to the clinic in Innsbruck after initial treatment.
From psychiatry to prison
On the day of the crime, investigators said the suspect was likely in an “extraordinary psychological state.” The doctor admitted him to the psychiatric ward.
On Monday morning, the executive branch added that the Public Prosecution Service had ordered pre-trial detention against the 37-year-old suspect. He was taken to Innsbruck prison. StA spokesperson Hansjörg Mayr confirmed in response to a question from “Krone” that the investigation was conducted on suspicion of deliberately causing serious bodily harm.
