Pensioners injured

Automatically saved draft

A driver in Steyr went berserk because it took him too long for a pedestrian to cross a crosswalk. He then attacked the pensioner, chased him into a bakery and even hit the victim with a bar stool.

It was shortly after 1 p.m. when the 67-year-old man from Steyr crossed the crosswalk - apparently too slowly for a 30-year-old driver. The Steyr man with a migrant background parked his car and shouted violently at the man, causing him to flee into a bakery: "Please call the police!"

With bar stool against victim
The aggressive 30-year-old followed the man into the bakery and hit the older man with his hands. When the man went down, the 30-year-old kicked the 67-year-old several times with his feet. The 30-year-old took a bar stool and hit the man lying on the floor with it. The 30-year-old then left the bakery.

In custody, taken to hospital
Following police investigations, the perpetrator was identified and arrested after consultation with the public prosecutor's office in Steyr. He was charged with intentional grievous bodily harm and transferred to Garsten prison. The 67-year-old was treated as an outpatient in the hospital in Steyr.
