13-Year-Old Robbed by Teenagers at Vienna Westbahnhof

A 13-year-old boy and his 15-year-old friend were victims of an attempted robbery on Mariahilfer Straße on November 12. In the area of the Westbahnhof, they were approached around 11:40 AM by two unknown teenagers under the pretense of wanting to exchange money. When the 13-year-old then took out his wallet, the situation escalated: one of the perpetrators tried to snatch the wallet while the other punched the boy in the face.

Teens Arrested by Vienna Police After Robbery

The two suspects then fled on foot – but the escape did not last long. Shortly thereafter, police officers from the Fünfhaus city police command were able to stop two individuals in Clementinengasse, near a local park, who matched the description of the perpetrators. The two are a 14-year-old Austrian citizen and a 15-year-old with unclear nationality. They were provisionally arrested.

During the search of the teenagers, cash was secured, which is suspected to have come from the crime. In the interrogations, both confessed and were taken to a detention center. The victim remained physically unharmed.
