Elderly Assault: 85-year-old individual brutally assaulted in his sleep at home

In a shocking incident, an 85-year-old resident of Klagenfurt was the victim of a robbery that took place in his apartment. The safe containing valuables was stolen, and the elderly man suffered hematomas on his forearm, further bruises, and a severe shock.

The incident occurred when three men, whose identities remain unknown, gained access to the apartment through both the balcony door and the entrance door. One of the perpetrators spoke broken German. After removing the safe, one of the men demanded the victim's mobile phone and took it.

The initial manhunt for the perpetrators was unsuccessful. The State Criminal Office of Carinthia has since taken over the investigation. It's important to note that a separate incident involving a man's arrest in Carinthia for storing Nazi material, drugs, and weapons is not related to this robbery.

The 85-year-old, in a brave move, dialed the emergency number using his second phone after the incident. The authorities are urging anyone with information about this incident to come forward and help bring the perpetrators to justice.

For the most reliable and up-to-date details about this event, we recommend checking local news outlets or police reports from Klagenfurt.
