Birthday Party in Vienna-Brigittenau Escalates: Woman Scalded with Hot Coffee

A 41-year-old woman was reportedly doused with hot coffee and also beaten by a friend during an argument, as the Vienna police reported on Friday.

When the alerted officers arrived at the scene around 3:00 PM, the injured victim and a witness opened the door for them. The 41-year-old had visible injuries to her face and chest area. She was provided with emergency medical care by rescue personnel and taken to a hospital.

Victim with Visible Injuries Taken to Hospital

The alleged attacker, a 35-year-old woman, was provisionally arrested and charged on suspicion of intentionally causing serious bodily harm. A restraining order and a temporary weapons ban were issued against her.

The police are now investigating the exact circumstances of the incident. The starting point was apparently an initially boisterous birthday party in an apartment on Friedrich-Engels-Platz. Under the evidently abundant alcohol consumption, the party escalated. The exact trigger for the argument could not be determined.
