Syrian and Ukrainian children (11-13) beat an Austrian (13) with emergency hammers*

Two Syrian brothers and two Ukrainians beat a 13-year-old resident of Vorarlberg and fled. Among other things, they allegedly struck him with stolen emergency hammers.

Shocking scenes came to Lindau on Friday evening, December 5. Several children from Ukraine and Syria (all residents of Vorarlberg and between 11-13 years of age) stole emergency hammers from a city bus and went after a 13-year-old resident of Vorarlberg with them.

As reported by Blick, they beat the Austrian child with punches and kicks, and even with stolen emergency hammers. The (child) fortunately came out of it without serious injuries. The trigger was reportedly a verbal altercation.

The Syrians and Ukrainians fled, but were quickly arrested because, ironically, they hid behind the Criminal Police building. The alleged attackers were later turned over to their parents, and the authorities were notified. The investigation continues.
