Overview
- Police say the tourist entered a Sölden hotel around 22:50 on Sunday, lay down in another guest's room, and fell asleep while intoxicated.
- When the guest and hotel owner woke him, he reacted aggressively and tried several times to strike the owner, according to authorities.
- The confrontation moved to the lobby, where the owner was injured; police have not disclosed the severity of those injuries.
- Two employees from another hotel restrained the man until officers arrived, and he allegedly attacked a police officer before being taken to the station and released later that night.
- The case has been forwarded to the Staatsanwaltschaft Innsbruck, as local leaders point to a pattern of alcohol-fueled disturbances in Sölden, which recently imposed an outdoor alcohol ban on a party street.
