In Neu-Anif

Argument escalated: perpetrator struck with a hammer

On Thursday evening, an argument between two young men from Salzburg escalated at a petrol station in Neu-Anif.

A 23-year-old man obviously saw no other way to resolve the conflict than to take a hammer. He hit his opponent, a 20-year-old man, on the back of the head with it.

The latter suffered injuries, but was able to make his own way to the nearest police station.

The perpetrator was apprehended by the police a short time later at the petrol station. He was taken to prison and will be charged.
