Early Thursday morning, two teenagers met in a public place in Bludenz, with their aides in tow. The reason for the argument was a relationship dispute. The argument turned into a brawl, with one of the brawlers even pulling out a blank-firing pistol.

Thursday morning at around 3.30 am, in the middle of Bludenz: two 17-year-olds with a crush on the same girl. One was accompanied by a 20-year-old buddy, the other had three friends between the ages of 17 and 19 with him. There was a lot to talk about, but at some point the words ran out, so they let their fists do the talking. Until one of the two adversaries unhonorably pulled out a blank-firing pistol and threatened his rival. He had been badly beaten up anyway and suffered a concussion and several hematomas.

In the course of an immediate manhunt, the police were able to stop and arrest the 17-year-old and his three companions in a vehicle in Bludenz. The alarm gun was also seized in the car - it was not loaded. All those involved were questioned during the night about the course of events, after which the 17-year-old suspect was reported to the public prosecutor's office at large.
