Children pull out a gun
Robbery: A visit to the outdoor pool turns into a horror for the Viennese
A visit to Vienna's Schafbergbad on Sunday afternoon turned into a horror for two teenagers: six children are said to have beaten the boys - all aged 13 and 14 - and threatened and robbed them with a blank-firing pistol.
According to the police, some of the perpetrators were even much younger than the two victims: five boys aged ten to twelve and one 14-year-old were reported and handed over to their parents or guardians, said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger on Monday.
The argument initially broke out while they were playing ball: The two teenagers were throwing a ball back and forth in the popular outdoor pool in Josef-Redl-Gasse in Währing - which finally landed on the group of six, who did not want to give it back.
Fortunately, the victims remain unharmed
"According to their statements, the two victims were then beaten, threatened with a blank-firing pistol and robbed of their wallets," said the spokesperson. However, the two boys remained unharmed.
Child and youth welfare services were informed about the incident.

Suspects caught on public bus
The suspects were caught on a public bus in the Hernals district, which was stopped by several patrol cars: They were looking for the "juvenile suspects after a robbery with a firearm". The children and the 14-year-old were searched and the officers discovered the suspected murder weapon in a bag.
Apart from the eldest, all the suspects are minors and have Austrian, Afghan or Bulgarian citizenship or come from the Russian Federation. "Child and youth welfare services have been informed about the incident."
