15-Year-Old Injured by Knife Stab at Keplerplatz

It was shown again on Friday afternoon that the weapon prohibition zone at Keplerplatz in Vienna-Favoriten is not respected by everyone.

15-Year-Old Taken to Hospital After Stabbing

During a dispute among several men, the causes of which are unclear, a 15-year-old received a knife stab to the thigh around 3:00 pm, another attacker hit him on the back of the head, according to the police on Sunday, who were only informed about the incident on Saturday. While the unknown perpetrators were able to escape, the teenager had to be provided with emergency medical care by the professional rescue service and taken to a hospital. There was no danger to his life.

The Innerfavoriten weapon prohibition zone was established at the end of March after several bloody incidents with knives in a large area around Kepler or Reumannplatz. In addition to traditional weapons, the carrying of other dangerous objects that are suitable for "exercising violence against people or things" is also prohibited there. The regulation for the weapon prohibition zone was only extended shortly before Christmas until April 3, 2025.
