Fists and arrests: Streit in front of Lienzer Discotheque escalated

In the night of November 17, 2024, the city of Lienz experienced a tumult in front of a discotheque, which promptly triggered a police operation. A 28-year-old man from Austria is suspected of having injured two other guests by blows. The situation continued to develop when a 27-year-old man, one of the parties involved, attacked the accused in the face.

The police quickly became active and temporarily took the 27-year-old into custody. A little later, another supposed victim reported: a 17-year-old Austrian who stated that he was put on the face of the 28-year-old, which led to a broken incisor. This new accusation led the 28-year-old to be arrested.
