A 32-year-old man from Wels knocked a driver out of his Porsche in the summer and then set off on a wild ride through the city, eventually fleeing on foot. The man has now been sentenced. However, he will not have to go to prison.

In the summer, a 32-year-old man from Wels went crazy: on July 27, the man ripped open the door of a parked Porsche and beat the driver sitting inside before fleeing in the luxury SUV. The mad dash ended at a traffic circle when he crashed into a BMW and a lamp post. Unimpressed by this, he also punched and kicked the BMW driver. But because the driver was wearing his seatbelt, he was unable to drag him out of his car. He finally fled on foot.

Resistance during arrest
The following day, he was confronted by police officers outside his home, where he strongly resisted arrest and attacked the officers. On Tuesday, the Wels Regional Court decided to place him in a forensic-therapeutic center for an indefinite period of time, as the 32-year-old was not sane at the time of the crime.

A serious mental disorder and heavy drug use had completely destroyed his judgment. The court's decision is already legally binding.
