Several young foreigners are accused of physically attacking and injuring a group of homeless people in front of Salzburg’s main railway station on August 30. The suspects have now been arrested by the police.

The suspects, a 15-year-old Afghan, a 15-year-old Romanian, a 17-year-old Syrian and two persons with Austrian citizenship, allegedly provoked and then attacked the homeless. They injured their victims with blows to the head and body and did not let go of them even when they were already lying defenceless on the ground. One of the homeless people had to be treated medically.

When the police arrived, the migrant suspects fled and were able to elude the police for the time being. In the meantime, the six alleged perpetrators of violence could be identified: The police carried out house searches at their homes and, on the instructions of the public prosecutor’s office, brought three of them to the Salzburg prison, the other three were reported at large.
