Brutal attacks: perpetrators from Linz in court – shocking details!

A shocking attack occurred at the train station in Steyr in the evening. Two young perpetrators, a 16-year-old and his 12-year-old accomplice, used a knife to force a 16-year-old girl to hand over cigarettes and cash.

On April 12, 2024, three boys aged 14 and 15 were victims of extreme violence.
