Pre-trial detention has been imposed on the 21-year-old who allegedly attacked his father with an axe on Monday morning in the Neusiedl am See district, the Eisenstadt public prosecutor's office announced on Thursday in response to an APA inquiry. He is being investigated on suspicion of attempted murder and making dangerous threats of death.

The emergency call was received by the police on Monday around 5:00 PM. The 52-year-old stated that his son had run towards him with a raised axe and threatened to kill him with it. The mother of the alleged perpetrator was also present. The suspect was still in the house when the police arrived, but left it at the officers' request and was arrested without resistance. A restraining order, a no-contact order, and a weapons ban were issued.

The reason for the act is believed to be family disputes. No one was injured.
