Violent Incident Involving Bar Stools

Headline: Sonthofen Pub Altercation: 67-year-old Man Hospitalised After Attack by 51-year-old

In a shocking incident at a pub in Sonthofen, a 67-year-old man found himself in a violent altercation with a 51-year-old man. The elderly man was left injured and hospitalised, while the 51-year-old is now facing a criminal trial for dangerous bodily harm.

The incident began when the 51-year-old stormed into the bar, aggressively cursing at the 67-year-old man, who was sitting at the bar. The 51-year-old then grabbed a bar stool and lunged at the older man, punching him several times.

The 67-year-old man fell to the ground during the altercation, and the 51-year-old continued to attack him, even choking him. Thankfully, a brave 43-year-old customer at the gas station intervened, holding the 51-year-old man until the police arrived.

When police arrived at the pub, the 51-year-old man was already approaching them. The man resisted arrest strongly, threatening the officers and swinging at them. The officers were able to restrain him and take him into custody.

It was later revealed that the 51-year-old man had previously come to police attention. A doctor took a blood sample from the man due to suspicion of alcohol and drug use.

The 67-year-old man allegedly fought back during the altercation, also grabbing a stool. He was taken to the hospital for treatment and is now recovering from his injuries.

The community of Sonthofen is shocked by the incident and is hopeful for a swift resolution to the criminal trial. The bravery of the witness who intervened is being hailed as a testament to the power of community spirit in difficult times.
