Police Operation Following Threat Against 12-Year-Old at Vienna Westbahnhof

The boy reported that he was suddenly insulted by an unknown man on the tram. This man had smashed a vodka bottle on one of the seats in the tram and, armed with the bottle neck, approached the 12-year-old, repeatedly threatening to kill him. With the bottle neck, he indicated that he would slit his throat.

26-Year-Old Reported After Threatening 12-Year-Old

The 12-year-old left the tram and hurried towards the Westbahnhof police station, where already alerted police officers met him. Due to the precise description of the perpetrator, the man could be temporarily arrested by the police immediately afterwards. The alleged weapon, the broken bottle neck, could not be found on the 26-year-old, but he had severe bleeding cuts on his left hand and appeared heavily influenced by alcohol or drugs. On the instructions of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, the man was reported for suspected dangerous threat while at large. The 12-year-old was unharmed and handed over to his legal guardians.
