Process After Stone Throw from Brigittenauer Bridge onto Car

The prosecutor accuses a 34-year-old man of deliberately throwing several stones from a bridge onto the Danube bank highway (A22). The man, who lived without a fixed residence in Vienna until his arrest in January, is said to have hit vehicles on the highway. Three cars were damaged, including a windshield, a radiator grille, and a car roof. "It's possible that I was there. There's a park there, I often sleep there," said the defendant. However, he claimed he was not "the guilty one."

DNA Evidence Implicates Defendant After Stone Throwing from Brigittenauer Bridge

A police patrol discovered several stones on the A22 under the Brigittenauer Bridge shortly before midnight at that time. Once it was established that several vehicles had been hit, investigations were immediately initiated. A backpack was then discovered near the crime scene, 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 in mid-January after he attacked a passerby with an iron rod. The passerby was able to dodge, but fell and injured the back of his head. The trial for bodily harm and serious property damage had to be postponed to summon additional witnesses. The trial will continue on December 3.
