Aggressive attack on fishing supervisors: Police are looking for perpetrators!

A terrifying incident occurred on Monday afternoon in Tarrenz, Tyrol, when a family man and a fishing supervisor were involved in a dispute. The 74-year-old fishing supervisor, who refused to borrow from ducks and fishing in the "Knappenwelt" on the Gurglbach, was exposed to aggressive reactions. He had shown his peculiarity and took a photo of the family's vehicle, which led to an escalation. The family's father asked the supervisor to extinguish the photo and became palpable.

The attack started when the man snatched the ID, threw him to the ground and stepped around on it. The supervisor tried to alarming the police, but his attacker prevented him from taking his cell phone away from him. The attack ended when the attacker took the supervisor in the sweat box and tore down to the ground before fled with his wife and about three to four years old child in a black small car. Parts of the license plate of the escape vehicle are known: IM-7 ????. The viewer's cell phone could later be found on a meadow with the help of a search app.

Consequences and investigations

The fishing supervisor suffered injuries in the incident and filed a complaint with the police. The authorities have already searched for the attacker. This is about 30 years old, between 1.70 and 1.80 meters tall and described with short hair. The attacker's wife wore colorful clothing, which could possibly help with identification. The IMST police inspection asks for information on the incident and can be reached on 059 133-7100.

This incident reflects a worrying tendency that is becoming increasingly important in society. According to a report by the Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA), violence against officials has increased in recent years. Especially in times of social tensions that were caused by Corona pandemic and the associated restrictions, threats to politicians, scientists and other officials have frequently accumulated. For example, a total of 1,674 crimes against official and mandate providers were recorded for 2019 alone, with violence offenses rose from 43 to 89.

Social implications

A study by the University of Gießen from 2019 shows that a large number of professional groups, including the police, prison officers and teachers, are particularly often affected by violence and threats. Many incidents do not report what the actual dimension of the problem obscures. The increase in politically motivated crimes, especially hate crimes, is a serious international problem that not only affects Germany. Experts blame factors such as the Internet and social media that reinforce disrespect and hatred.

Overall, the incident in Tarrenz not only illustrates the risk of individuals who stand in the public service, but also the urgent need to take measures to protect officials and their security. The awareness of the challenges they face to face must be strengthened in society in order to combat the causes of this violence.
