Prison Sentence After Stone Throw from Brigittenau Bridge in Vienna

"I can't remember doing anything," said the defendant at the start of the trial in early November. An interpreter now testified that the man had admitted during his first police interrogation that he had "played with stones" and it "could be that something fell down." "Your account is not credible. I assume you were on the bridge and threw the stones down," said the judge. The Hungarian, who had been living in Vienna without a fixed residence, accepted the judge's verdict after consulting with his legal aid. The prosecutor also agreed. The conviction for attempted grievous bodily harm, bodily harm, and property damage is final.

Three Cars Hit by Stone Throwing from Brigittenauer Bridge in Vienna

In total, three cars were hit by several stones measuring 20 to 30 centimeters. In addition to the broken windshield, a radiator grille and a car roof were damaged. A police patrol discovered several stones on the A22 under the Brigittenauer Bridge shortly before midnight. Near the crime scene, a backpack was found containing a water bottle, on which DNA traces were secured. These could be attributed to the defendant a few months later. The Hungarian was arrested at the beginning of the year after he attacked a passerby with an iron rod. The passerby was able to dodge, but fell and injured the back of his head.
