The 66-year-old was in the car on October 31 with a blood alcohol content of 0.92. In Ottnang (Vöcklabruck district), he led a dispute out of the car with two other drunks who were walking home.
“I fia you down!”
Because he wouldn’t leave the two young men alone, one of the two opened the car door and leaned in. The 66-year-old stepped on the gas and dragged the man around 60 meters. Then he is said to have approached his opponent twice more – once at 40 and once at 25 to 30 km/h – and shouted: “I fia di Nieder!” The other managed to get to safety by jumping sideways.
The 66-year-old also called his two sons, aged 25 and 28, for help. The younger Filius is said to have uttered wild threats against his father’s victim and a woman and injured two police officers who had meanwhile arrived and wanted to restrain him. The older son ran and jumped legs first at one of the drunks, but missed. According to the indictment, he then attacked a bystander on the same meadow and inflicted a femoral neck fracture on him. During the subsequent arrest, the 28-year-old is said to have injured a police officer.
The trial starts on Monday in Wels and is scheduled for two days, with a verdict expected on February 23.
