Another act of horror in front of the St. Pölten school: 13-year-old injured!

In St. Pölten, another shocking incident occurred in front of a school, which brought the authorities to the scene. On Friday afternoon, a 13-year-old student was hit by a firecracker at a bus stop in front of the high school on Josefstrasse. The event happened around 1:12 p.m., as both 5min.at as well as COURIER report. Immediate first aid from passers-by helped stabilize the boy, but he had to be taken to St. Pölten University Hospital with injuries to his thigh.

The police have now launched an investigation and are asking the public for support. Relevant information can be reported to 059133 3195-100. This incident is not isolated: Just on Thursday there was another incident in which parents in a middle school insulted the teachers and even attacked police officers, which also led to a police operation. These repeated incidents in front of schools in St. Pölten raise questions about the safety around educational institutions and cause concern among the population. In view of the incidents, the state governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner (ÖVP) is calling for harsher punishments for “those unwilling to integrate”, as the KURIER reported.
