What began as neighbourly assistance ended yesterday evening with serious bodily harm and a police arrest. According to meinbezirk.at, a heated altercation between two men occurred in Friesach at approximately 21:43.
A 60-year-old woman had asked her neighbour, a 54-year-old man, to help her set her television programme.
