Every spring in Valais, the local Eringer cows battle it out to be declared «Queen of Queens». It's not like bullfighting, where a human fights a bull to the death. The «Combat de Reines» features cows with blunted horns vying for dominance of the herd. The annual events draw up to 50,000 spectators.
A 30 year old man was severely attacked this morning at 2am at the Rheingasse and Greifengasse intersection. Two costumed men beat him to the ground, kicked him in the face and in the abdomen until he was unconscious.
