Unbelievable scenes in a Villach apartment: on Thursday night, an argument between a 15-year-old and his mother escalated to such an extent that the teenager brutally beat up the 39-year-old. Only when a friend of the boy intervened was the woman able to escape to a neighbor. 

At around 10 p.m. on Thursday, the argument between a 39-year-old woman and her son reached a brutal climax. The boy became violent, punched his own mother several times in the face with his fist, pulled her hair and kicked her after she had fallen to the ground. It was only when a friend of the 15-year-old who was present came to the woman's aid that she managed to flee to a neighboring apartment, from where she alerted the police.

The teenager did not allow himself to be calmed down by the officers, but behaved aggressively towards them and insulted them. He was then arrested and taken to the Villach police detention center. The 15-year-old was also banned from entering and approaching the police station. The mother suffered injuries of indeterminate severity.
