Has your son got any insurance (travel or expat)?



If so you would do well to contact the insurance companies emergency help line.



If it was a road traffic accident you need to call that insurer as well.



I assume the 3,500 is a "bail bond" which is designed as a safty net to make sure if he is responsible he has covered some liability. He must ensure he has a receipt and should avoid admitting liability etc.



This might also be a payment to cover for possible hospital costs.



Whatever I am sure we all have sympathy with you and your son.
