According to the website Austrian News, a ‘pathological tyre hater’ is creating mischief in the federal state of Upper Austria. The website claims that an unknown person may have a strong aversion to car tyres. Last night more than a hundred tyres were slashed and destroyed, the third time this has occurred.

Even a police car was amongst those to incur the tyre hater’s wrath. Police in the town of Vöcklabruck are optimistic about catching the culprit sooner or later, as the. loud hiss of the destroyed tyres will lead them to the tyre defiler.
