A 23-year-old man allegedly stabbed a roommate multiple times with a kitchen knife during an argument in an apartment on Sunday.

The summoned police forces provisionally arrested the 23-year-old. The man's roommate suffered superficial cuts and stab wounds in the incident, which were treated by emergency medical services. There was no danger to life, and the victim was discharged from the hospital into home care.

23-year-old began to riot under the influence of drugs

As revealed from the questioning of the victim and another witness present, the alleged perpetrator, who was under the influence of drugs, reportedly came home only in the early morning hours before he began to riot in the apartment. After consultation with the Vienna public prosecutor's office, the suspect was transferred to a correctional facility. Due to the unlawful stay in the federal territory, the 27-year-old victim and the witness (both nationality: Iraq) were also arrested according to immigration police regulations. Further investigations by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, are ongoing.
