Cultural Enrichment: 'Sharia Street Patrol' in Austria Hospitalizes Father Protecting his Daughter

A self-styled Sharia patrol group have been jailed for savagely beating a man trying to defended his daughter and wife.

A court heard the group of young men, who called themselves ‘The Wolves', approached the victim’s mother, daughter and his daughter’s friends.

Both men ended up in hospital with severe cuts and bruises, while the father and husband was left with a titanium plate in his his eye socket.

Three men were later identified and sentenced to between eight and 10 months in jail for GBH.

Another man was spared jail but fined €480 for inciting violence.
