Because he did not want to put on a mask, the suspect punched and kicked the taxi driver. The victim had to undergo eight operations and is still suffering the effects of the attack.
Everyone involved in the Vienna regional court agrees: The perpetrator is visibly shaken by the consequences of that day in March when he beat a Bolt driver to the point of hospitalization. Then it’s over with the unit.
Taxler offered him a mask
The private taxi driver was ordered overnight. The young man who entered was not wearing a mask. The driver pointed out the legal obligation that still applied at the time and also offered him a new mask to buy.
Eight operations needed
Short speech, long discussion, which ended with the passenger trying to get out of the car again: “You are a … hole.” Not wanting to pay for a mask or the ride, the driver called the police — and found himself back on the ground. Within “maybe 10 seconds” he was hit with punches and kicks!
He suffered a broken tibia and fibula, a bruised skull, a torn elbow, had eight operations and was in the hospital for weeks! Attorney Christian Werner: “To this day, my client needs crutches and can’t work.”
Judge Tea Krasa finds the confession soothing. She sentences the 24-year-old to 18 months, including 3 in prison, plus pain and suffering and anti-aggression training, warning, “If you miss even one day, you’ll do it all.”
