Two uninvolved men obstructed both the police accident investigation and the rescue operation after a bicycle accident in Rainerstraße in the city of Salzburg yesterday, the police reported in a statement. The 21-year-old Syrian and the 28-year-old Egyptian tried to grab the injured cyclist and pull him away from the paramedics. Furthermore, they behaved extremely aggressively towards the police officers.
Despite repeated warnings, only the threat of use of force was able to convince the two men to stop their behaviour and the police accident investigation and rescue operation could continue. The two men were reported for disturbance of public order and aggressive behaviour.
The case started with an accident in which a 25-year-old cyclist crashed into the door of a car and was injured.
