The officers from the Ottakring City Police Command, who arrived shortly thereafter at the scene, were told by the 31-year-old woman that she had been attacked in the nearby apartment of an acquaintance by him and another man, and that her wallet had been stolen.

Wallet Taken

According to the victim, the two men had taken her wallet during the meeting and tried to prevent her from leaving the apartment using physical force. She was grabbed by the neck, strangled, and kicked. The 31-year-old eventually managed to break free and escape from the apartment. However, in the stairwell, she was caught by one of the men. He punched her in the face and then returned to the apartment.
