“It became clear relatively quickly that this was a serious matter,” they describe. There wasn’t much to see on the victim’s face. While Hubner took immediate care of first aid, his friend alerted the rescue. “The man even told us what happened. That he was attacked by two men. “
A little later, at the hospital, it became clear that the men had saved Rudolf Baumgartner’s life. The taxi driver had suffered innumerable injuries. A facial skull fracture, an eye socket fracture, a jaw fracture, a shoulder blade fracture, a nose fracture, and broken ribs, among others.
“He was 95 percent dead,” says Baumgartner himself.
The incredible brutality of the attack also surprised investigators. “To rob the taxi, it would not have been necessary to almost kill Mr. Baumgartner,” says investigator Deutsch. The men had left the murder weapon on the grassy edge of the parking lot. The baseball bat had been broken by the force of the blows.
