New Year's Eve
Firecrackers thrown at police officers: suspects deny the crime
After police officers were pelted with firecrackers and injured on New Year's Eve in Leoben, a second suspect has been identified. However, the two 20-year-olds deny everything.
On New Year's Eve, seven police officers were apparently deliberately pelted with firecrackers by young men in the center of Leoben - we reported. Six officers had to be treated as outpatients in hospital with blast trauma, one police officer was injured by splinters to the leg, had to be stitched up and is on sick leave.
The 20-year-old arrested on the night of the crime, an Austrian with Chechen roots, has since been released, according to the police. Initially, he had not provided any information about other accomplices, but then led investigators on the trail of another 20-year-old, also a native Chechen living in the Leoben area.
According to the police, both men deny having thrown firecrackers at the police officers and claim that it was someone else in the crowd. The 20-year-olds have been released and further investigations are underway.
