Three individuals forcibly entered an apartment in Vienna-Donaustadt on Saturday afternoon and severely injured the tenant. The perpetrators were arrested by the WEGA.

On August 9, a violent assault occurred in a multi-party house in Vienna-Donaustadt. Three suspects – two men aged 22 and 38, and a 38-year-old woman – are said to have forcibly entered the apartment of a 38-year-old woman around 4:00 PM. The victim was severely injured with a blunt object and had to be hospitalized. According to the police, the woman's apartment inventory was also damaged.

Victim Knew Perpetrators: Arrests by WEGA

According to the police, the victim and the suspects had known each other for years. Following the incident, the woman's information led investigators to a single-family house in the same district. WEGA forces provisionally arrested all three individuals there. During the arrest, the 38-year-old suspect attempted to resist the police.

Investigations into Motive Underway

According to the victim's initial statements, the attack was preceded by a verbal altercation with the 38-year-old suspect. It is said to have been about a previous theft of cash.

The three suspects – Austrian and Serbian citizens – are currently in police custody. Investigations are ongoing.
