Did not want to pay
Suspects tracked down after attack on taxi driver
A taxi driver (64) was brutally attacked in the Tyrolean Ötztal on Sunday night. Instead of paying the fare, the professional driver was beaten up by guests. Two men (22 and 25 years old) have now been identified as the suspected perpetrators.
The taxi driver had taken the two passengers from Sölden to Längenfeld at around 4 a.m. on Sunday. "When the two wanted to cheat the driver out of the fare and leave the cab, the driver held one of the two men", the police said.
Taxi driver had to go to hospital
This led to a wild brawl. The two initially unknown men punched and kicked the 64-year-old several times. They then fled the scene. The taxi driver had to be taken to hospital in Zams.
Charge at large
On Monday, the police were able to report a successful manhunt. After extensive investigations, two Austrians aged 22 and 25 were identified as suspects. They have been released.
