On Monday, there was a suspected knife attack in the weapon prohibition zone in Vienna-Favoriten.

The man was "presumably stabbed" during an argument at Reumannplatz, confirmed police spokeswoman Julia Schick in a report by "oe24.at". The operation is still ongoing, and the forensic investigation has not yet been completed. Details about the victim and the nature of the injury were not yet known.

Suspect on the Run After Dispute in Weapon Prohibition Zone in Vienna-Favoriten

The suspect was on the run. The 35-year-old was initially treated by the Vienna emergency services and taken to a hospital with serious injuries. The exact background of the attack was initially unclear. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, South Branch, has taken over the investigation. Today's incident clearly shows that there is no lack of laws or prohibition signs, but rather a lack of consistent police presence and a rigorous security policy. "A criminal is as little impressed by a prohibition sign as a drug dealer is by a no-smoking sign in the park," said Stefan Berger, FPÖ district party chairman of Favoriten.
