In December 2024, a 17-year-old Syrian forced the knife attack of a 53-year-old German for a young person at Dornbirn station in Vorarlberg. Nevertheless, the refugee now had to answer in court – due to an attempted serious physical injury.
They are wild scenes that the security camera included in the late evening of December 16 in the bus station in Dornbirn. It can be seen how a clearly alcoholic man specifically approaches a group of young people and she mobes. When the boys take the stranger and go to the bus stop, the man takes off a knife and follows them. Then everything goes very fast.
Tumult ends with a blow
When he tries to ram the drunk the knife in his neck, he stumbles. The 17-year-old Syrian responds to the lightning speed and pushes in the face of the stumbling. Where the attacker finally goes down. The 53-year-old Messermann is now in court due to a dangerous threat. It is difficult to understand that the courageous refugee must be responsible for attempted serious physical injury.
“The blow was needed to put the knife out of effect. The rapid reaction of my client could be prevented,” explains the defender Erich Rico film and demands an acquittal for the Syrian.
“I have nothing to say”
In the process, the two-person defendant no longer knows why the 53-year-old German started the group of young people. “I can only remember my arrest. Otherwise I have nothing to say about the whole thing,” the German explains.
The fact is that the attacker had drunk various glasses of beer in a nearby bar in a nearby bar and that an alcohol level of 1.8 per thousand was determined when he was arrested. Judge Peter Novak ultimately speaks to the 53-year-old Messermann because of a dangerous threat and imposed a fine of 10,500 euros on him.
Praise from the judge: “correctly traded”
For the 17-year-old Syrian, the trial ends with acquittal. “They were suitable and acted in the correct order by first making an emergency call to the police before she put the attacker out of effect with a blow.” The judgment is already final.
