Man throws stone against tramway and hurts passenger

"I freaked out completely," says the 31-year-old in court about the stone throw. He was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.

A 31-year-old man was found guilty of assault, property damage, and multiple robberies. The verdict is not final.

Because he threw a stone at a pumice and seriously injured a passenger, a 31-year-old was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in Vienna today. The defendant is also said to have committed three robberies.

Today, a 31-year-old was sentenced to four and a half years in prison at the Vienna State Court for a stone throw against a tram. In the incident on 5 December last year, a passenger was injured in the head.

An undeserved 31-year-old has not only committed robbery, but also injured a person in an unusual way.

On the way to his company Christmas party, a 28-year-old Viennese woman was hit and injured by a palm-sized stone on his head on December 5, 2024 in a tram garage. Instead of inciting his colleagues, the IT employee came to a hospital where the bleeding wound was treated and the bruise was treated. "I was very lucky," said the man at the regional court on Thursday, "the police said that this usually ends fatally."
