"I'll stab you"

Dispute in the parking lot: Attack with a breakdown triangle

Brutal attack in the parking lot of a shopping center in Spittal an der Drau: During an argument, a suspect threatened his opponent and hit him with a breakdown triangle. Arrested!

On Saturday morning, the 42-year-old suspect kept revving the engine of his car in the parking lot of a shopping center in Spittal an der Drau. This infuriated a local resident who lived not far from the parking lot.

When the 56-year-old finally confronted the driver, the situation escalated completely: the 42-year-old, who was already known to the police, first threatened the victim with the words "I'll stab you" - whereupon the frightened resident tried to flee. But the aggressive driver did not allow this: he grabbed his breakdown triangle and brutally hit the 56-year-old several times.

Successful manhunt
Only when the injured victim made an emergency call did the attacker let go of him and sped off in his car. But the 42-year-old did not get far: he was stopped by the police during the manhunt in the Lieserschlucht area, arrested and taken to Klagenfurt prison.
