Neighborhood Dispute in Vienna-Floridsdorf Escalated: Knife, Brass Knuckles, and Arrest

The trivial reason for the dispute was the waste disposal of a 44-year-old man, as the Vienna police reported on Sunday. When the North Macedonian wanted to take out his trash around 3:00 PM, he was allegedly pushed to the ground, beaten, strangled, and pressed against the wall by a heavily intoxicated resident of the same building without any apparent reason.

Shortly thereafter, the family of the 44-year-old also got involved, and the situation in Ohmgasse only escalated further. The man's wife became aware of the incident and wanted to end the dispute. Subsequently, the 42-year-old Austrian woman was allegedly punched in the face by the aggressive 48-year-old compatriot. Additionally, he is said to have threatened the couple with a knife in hand.

Son in Vienna-Floridsdorf fetched a blackjack and brass knuckles

Meanwhile, the couple's son, who had been sleeping until then, was awakened by the shouting. According to police reports, the 19-year-old fetched a blackjack and brass knuckles and attacked the 48-year-old with them. At the same time, the 44-year-old father briefly disappeared and retrieved a baton, which he did not use according to the officers.

When the alerted police officers arrived at the scene, several plastic bottles and deposit cans were found scattered throughout the stairwell. After the officers were able to calm the still loud dispute, all parties involved were questioned separately. The couple was injured in the incident and taken to a hospital by the Vienna professional rescue service.

Alcohol level of 3.28 per mille

The 48-year-old was arrested, but he has not confessed so far. A breathalyzer test showed 3.28 per mille. The accused did not stop his insults and threats even in the presence of the police officers. A restraining order was issued against him. The man was admitted to a hospital with injuries to his forearm.

A weapons ban was imposed on the 19-year-old son of the injured couple. The two prohibited weapons, the blackjack and brass knuckles, were confiscated. Due to the bodily harm to the aggressive neighbor, the young man also received a charge.
