Brutal attack on 88-year-olds: Masked bonds pensioners in Oberloisdorf!

A violent attack on an 88-year-old pensioner in Oberloisdorf, Oberpullendorf district, causes excitement in Burgenland. The raid occurred around 12:30 p.m. when the pensioner returned home after a purchase and waited for his beverage supplier. Suddenly the doorbell rang. When the senior opened, he was attacked with pepper spray and overwhelmed by two masked men.

The perpetrators knocked down the pensioner, captivated and gagged it before searching the house for cash and valuables. The pensioner had to endure helplessly in the anteroom while his attackers searched the house. The injured man was only discovered around 2:30 p.m. when the beverage supplier arrived. According to Krone, the senior could not free himself, and the perpetrators had already fled when the emergency services arrived.

intensive investigations

The exact height of the prey is currently still unclear and the injured pensioner was hospitalized. Because of his condition, it was initially not possible for his interviewers to receive information from him. Specialists have already started to examine the house for traces to secure clues to the perpetrators. The investigation is continued intensively, as Kosmo reports.

Violence against older people, as the attack on the pensioner shows, is a serious social problem. According to [Ministry of Social Affairs] (https://www.social Ministry.gv.at/themen/sziales/social-themen/seniorinnen-und-seniorenpolitik/galt- against- againstmen.html), this violence includes diverse forms, including physical assault, financial exploitation, neglect and psychological abuse. Such violence often remains unnoticed or is not perceived as such, which makes it difficult for those affected.

prevention measures and help offers

The Ministry of Social Affairs actively campaigns for the prevention of violence against older people. With educational initiatives, workshops and advisory services, awareness of this topic should be raised. During the three -year hiking exhibition "Halt - no violence!" important information and support options are treated. There is also an advisory phone at the Pro Senectute Austria association, which can be reached on +43 699 11 20 00 99.

The incident in Oberloisdorf illustrates the dangers to which older people are exposed. The company is required to work for the protection and support of this vulnerable group. It is to be hoped that the raid will be informed quickly and the perpetrators will be held responsible.
