Key legal question
Whether the findings of fact were arbitrary, especially as to the victim's awareness and the defendant's intent to threaten serious harm.
Extracted holding
The challenged factual findings were not arbitrary.
Extracted reasoning
The victim's statements allowed the cantonal court to infer a link between the attack and the demand over the bar. In any event, the subjective question of the victim's understanding was not decisive for attempted coercion. The defendant's awareness that the group intended to frighten the victim with violent acts supported the findings.
