Police looking for witnesses

Man slipped and fell on teenager

On Tuesday afternoon, a 14-year-old boy suffered injuries of indeterminate severity in a very unfortunate accident at the Bregenz lido. He had to be taken to hospital.

There was a lot of bad luck involved: at around 4.30 p.m., a previously unknown man tried to climb out of the water via the bathing ladder by the wooden jetty. He slipped and fell backwards onto a 14-year-old boy who was waiting directly behind him. The boy sustained undefined injuries in the collision - he had to be taken to Bregenz Regional Hospital after first aid.

The Hard water police are now looking for the unidentified man, who was presumably in the pool with his wife and two children. The man is said to be between 30 and 40 years old and of corpulent build, he wears his gray hair short. At the time of the accident, he was wearing blue swimming trunks.

Witnesses who can provide relevant information are asked to contact the police.
