Two charges

14-year-old beating boy awaits trial in prison

A 14-year-old boy from Perg already has a lot on his plate. Most of the assaults happened before he reached the age of criminal responsibility, but now the young thug is facing two trials within a very short space of time.

The 14-year-old Austrian with a Turkish immigrant background made the headlines because he punched the lifeguard at the outdoor pool in Perg into hospital on Whit Sunday. Background: The boy had already been banned from the pool because he kept causing problems. The lifeguard (68) wanted to throw him out of the facility.
