In this year's Krampus runs in Carinthia, there were dangerous incidents that attracted the attention of the authorities. A masked actor was attacked in Hohenthurn when an unknown viewer tried to tear his mask off his head. At the same time there was another incident in Eberndorf, in which a child almost suffocated on a sugar.

The incident in Hohenthurn occurred on Saturday evening around 7:00 p.m. A 15-year-old who was disguised as a Krampus was attacked by a viewer during a customs run. The man grabbed the horns of the mask and tried to tear them off, which led to an injury to the youth. After the incident, he had to be brought to the LKH Villach. The immediately initiated search for the perpetrator has so far been unsuccessful, and the Arnoldstein police inspection continues.

Rescue of the child by police officers

Another serious situation occurred around 5:30 p.m. during the Krampus run in Eberndorf. There were police officers in the standby unit when they suddenly heard calls for help. A mother was panicked because her son was suffocated in a sugar and couldn't get any air. The police officers immediately acted: an official started the secret handle to help the boy. Fortunately, he spit out the sugar and could breathe again. An emergency doctor was requested, but due to the rapid reaction of the police, additional medical care was no longer necessary.

These incidents put a light on the challenges that can occur during popular customs events. Spectators and participants are always confronted with the consequences if security is not guaranteed. The Carinthian police take these events very seriously and intends to continue to ensure that the events run smoothly and to recognize potential sources of danger at an early stage.
