Austrian Boy Brutally Attacked by Syrian and Ukrainian Minors
8th December 2025
On Friday evening, December 5th, in Lindau, Bavaria, a 13-year-old Austrian boy was hurt in a serious attack by a group of four underage youths—comprising two Syrians and two Ukrainians.
Reportedly, the assailants used emergency hammers taken from a city bus. The boy fell to the ground and was further kicked by the attackers before police arrived.
Police were dispatched shortly before 10 p.m. to the ZUP bus station after receiving an emergency call. By the time the first patrol arrived, the suspects had fled. A manhunt was immediately launched, involving federal and border police. The injured boy was taken to a hospital, but authorities reported he did not sustain serious injuries.
About 300 meters from the scene, police found four minors hiding behind the criminal police station building. The group consisted of a pair of Syrian brothers and two Ukrainians, aged between 11 and 13. All four live in Vorarlberg, Austria. Legal guardians and the youth welfare office were informed, and investigations are ongoing.
