Feeing bridge fall: Police investigated 36-year-olds

On October 2, the police were alerted in Tamsweg when a 36-year-old man claimed to have fallen from a bridge to the Mur. However, the Situation quickly developed into a sensational incident when it turned out that the entire history was apparently only faked.

The man reported to the police at around 7 p.m. after he was supposedly fell several meters from a bridge and injured. The event led to a comprehensive use of the rescue workers. These immediately arrived and searched for the supposed accident victim.

Investigations against the man

The emergency services quickly found that the supposedly injured man obviously had no visible injuries. The fire brigade Tamsweg was on hand with 27 emergency services to rescue it, but no medical help was necessary during the first examination. Despite the clear signs that something was wrong, the man signed a lapel around 8 p.m. and left the site independently.

The police then started extensive investigations because it suspected that the fall and the associated emergency were deliberately re -enacted. It was found that the different statements of the man and the lack of injuries did not match. This behavior could have legal consequences, since pretending an emergency is considered a criminal act and thus investigations into abuse of emergency ponds.

The action led to the superfluous use of the police and fire brigade, which is considered very problematic, especially in view of the limited resources in emergencies. Without a doubt, this incident will continue to be a topic of conversation in the region. For a detailed understanding of the situation, See the article on www.meinbezirk.at .
