Young people brutally attacked in Innsbruck - perpetrators on the run!

Lohbachufer, Innsbruck, Österreich - in Innsbruck there was a brutal attack on a 16-year-old on Friday afternoon. The boy was attacked by two to three unknown perpetrators on the banks of the Lohbach, who missed blows on the head and tracted him with foot kicks, as the police reported. The injured person was immediately taken to a hospital with an ambulance, while the search for his attackers has so far been unsuccessful. The investigation was initiated to clarify further details and to believe the perpetrators as quickly as possible so that there could be a arrest.

Legal consequences of a brawl

Such incidents often raise questions about the legal responsibility of those involved. According to German criminal law, more precisely § 231, the participation in a brawl is considered dangerous for life and life because such arguments often result in serious consequences. Even if it cannot be determined, for example, if you have led to a serious injury, everyone involved can be held responsible. In particular, this regulation is intended to prevent clashes in the hustle and bustle of a fight when proof of legal evidence remained unclear afterwards. Because it is sufficient that someone was involved in the escalating situation in order to be legally prosecuted, even if they did not lead to a direct attack, which makes the evidence situation more difficult, as juracademy.de reports.

In this special case, in which several perpetrators gathered, the legal classification would be crucial for future law enforcement. Psychological aid to the fight, as could have been possible in the present incident, is also under the same regulation, which is of particular importance for the increasing numbers of such attacks in urban areas. The current situation makes it clear that in such a tense situation, uninvolved people can quickly become sacrificed.
