On Sunday evening, a 31-year-old Austrian woman was attacked by two masked strangers in Wattens, Tyrol (Innsbruck-Land district) and was injured during a scuffle.

The two youths - one wearing a "Scream" mask - had demanded the woman hand over her handbag. She refused and was grabbed on the upper arm by one of the perpetrators. The 31-year-old defended herself, and the attackers fled.

The woman had gone to her car, parked in front of her house, around 6:10 PM to retrieve her handbag. The two youths then appeared near a garbage area. After the incident and after the two had fled, the 31-year-old informed her mother. She searched the area unsuccessfully. It was only an hour later that the police were alerted. They were also unable to find the perpetrators. The victim sought medical treatment.

Woman Attacked: Police Asked the Public for Information

The two young men are said to be no older than 20 years. The youth with the "Scream" mask was about 1.85 meters tall, slim, and wore a dark hoodie and dark clothing. He was noticeable for wearing an intense men's perfume with a citrus note. The second participant was about 1.75 meters tall and of solid build. He also wore a dark hoodie, a dark cap, and red-white ankle-high Nike Air-Max shoes. He spoke without an accent and presumably in a Tyrolean dialect. The police asked the public for information.
