Wild scenes took place in an asylum center in Lower Austria. Because his "inner voice" prompted a resident to do gymnastics and boxing in the middle of the night, he incurred the displeasure of another refugee. A fight broke out.

What is too much is too much. That's what the resident of a refugee home in the district of Lilienfeld thought. Once again, loud noises echoed down from the upper floor during the night. But because children were also sleeping downstairs, the man had had enough.

"A little quieter, please"
He marched up the stairs and wanted to ask the loud Syrian to be a little quieter. He was in the middle of his gymnastics and boxing training. "Inner voices", as he later told the police, had advised him to do this sport late at night. And he was not about to let that stop him. He attacked the other asylum seeker, giving him a black eye and a bleeding nose. However, the victim refused to go to hospital. The thug was then banned from entering the building and taken to another accommodation.

A police operation also took place in an asylum home in Haag in the Amstetten district. There, an intoxicated Ukrainian had beaten up his ex-wife and threatened her several times despite being banned from entering. He was sent away again.
