In Vienna, the police are searching for a man who allegedly strangled two women and demanded cash in a red-light district establishment in September. Both attacks failed due to the victims' fierce resistance – the perpetrator fled without loot.

An as-yet unidentified perpetrator is being sought by the Vienna police for two attempted robberies. On September 12, around 8:30 PM, the man overpowered one of the women working in a red-light district establishment in Vienna-Floridsdorf, strangled her, and demanded cash. However, the 46-year-old victim resisted so fiercely that the suspect let go of her and fled without any loot.

Two Attempted Robberies in Vienna Red-Light District: Police Request Information

Only three days later, on September 15, the perpetrator entered the establishment again around 9:45 PM. He threatened, strangled, and hit a 48-year-old employee and once again demanded cash. This time, however, a colleague rushed to help. Together, the two women managed to drive the man away.

The suspect is 30-35 years old, approximately 185 cm tall, has short dark hair, and a distinctive scar running across the entire left side of his face. The Vienna police were able to secure an image of the man from the establishment's video surveillance system. They are now requesting useful information (also anonymously) to be provided to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, North Branch, at the phone number 01-31310-67800.
