Hit in the eye
Softgun accident: teenager (14) seriously injured
Officers in Vienna-Donaustadt were called on Monday because of an incident between two teenagers in which a 13-year-old was allegedly handling a softgun and a shot was suddenly fired. The bullet hit his friend in the eye with full force - the latter sustained serious injuries.
Two teenagers aged 13 and 14 are said to have been handling a softgun in Vienna-Favoriten on Friday when a shot was fired from the loaded pistol, hitting the 14-year-old in the face with full force.
Projectile hit eye with full force
The teenager suffered serious injuries to his eye and was taken to Donaustadt Hospital by the emergency services. Fortunately, a doctor was able to remove the projectile by means of an operation and save it for further investigations. It is possible that the 14-year-old teenager could have suffered visual impairment as a result of the projectile.
Special types of firearms are known as soft air . They work using a compressed air system and do not fire cartridges, but usually round balls made of various materials - usually plastic or, as in this case, steel.
The investigation is still ongoing and the suspect is facing charges of suspected grievous bodily harm under the Vienna Youth Protection Act.
