The situation continued to escalate when the perpetrator, who initially escaped, caused excitement shortly afterwards at another hotel. There, despite the lost access ticket, the Dutch tried to gain access by violent access by smashing a glass door with kicks. A police patrol was alerted to this new incident. As part of the investigation, the assault against the 59-year-old Belgian was clearly assigned to the alleged attacker, according to the information from Krone .

The Belgian suffered injuries in the brutal attack and had to be taken to the hospital. Despite the incident, the perpetrator made damages for the destroyed door after his early departure. These violent attacks not only throw a bad light on the Tyrolean tourism sector, but also show how quickly a harmless help can result in a dangerous argument, as wien.orf.at reported.
