Victim in a deep sleep

Video led police to brutal thug

The police have succeeded in solving an attack on a man from Wolfsberg. The 45-year-old had suffered such serious injuries in front of a bar that he had to be put into an artificial deep sleep.

Passers-by had found the seriously injured man in the early hours of April 20 in front of a Wolfsberg nightclub and immediately alerted the emergency services. The 45-year-old victim was taken to hospital by the ambulance service, where he had to be put into a deep sleep due to his serious injuries.

As there were initially no witnesses to an attack on the man from Wolfsberg, it was assumed that he had suffered a serious fall. However, the investigation led the Wolfsberg police officers on the trail of a German known to the police. A video recording was found of the 45-year-old being brutally beaten up by the man. The 21-year-old perpetrator was arrested by order of the public prosecutor and taken to the prison in Klagenfurt. Further investigations into the brutal act are still ongoing.
