Krampus parade in Hohenthurn: 15-year-old injured in the event of an incident

in Hohenthurn, a municipality in the Villach-Land district, occurred on Saturday evening, November 23, 2024, during a Krampus parade. Around 7 p.m. a 15-year-old participant in the move was the goal of an attack. A previously unknown viewer grabbed the horns of the youngsters' mask and shook them violently, which led to a dangerous situation.

The incident had serious consequences for the young man, who had to be transported to LKH Villach due to his injuries. During the rescue, he was in a worrying state, which increased the concerns of those present.

Investigations run

After the incident, an immediate search was initiated after the suspect viewer, but unfortunately without success. The local police authorities, more precisely the PI Arnoldstein, are now taking over the further investigation to determine the perpetrator. The police appeal to possible witnesses who have information about the incident.

Such incidents throw shadows on traditional customs events, which are often a popular destination for young and old in the region. The safety of the participants and spectators should always be guaranteed, especially at events that are often shaped by crowds of people, as is the case with a Krampus parade. The police will show more presence in the next few days to ensure that such incidents do not repeat.
