Man in Vienna-Liesing Bit Partner on the Cheek: Arrest

A neighbor heard the loud altercation from a nearby apartment around 12:30 AM and called the police. "The man is in police custody. A preliminary alcohol test showed the 53-year-old had a blood alcohol level of 1.8," said police spokeswoman Julia Schick.

The police officers heard the noise from the apartment while still in the stairwell. When the woman opened the door, she had a heavily bleeding wound on her face and injuries to her hands. The emergency services took her to a hospital. The officers found the 53-year-old sitting on the living room floor, loudly insulting and threatening them.

Woman in Vienna-Liesing Taken to Hospital

Apparently, the couple had separated but had gotten back together, said the spokeswoman to APA. On Friday evening, the 51- and 53-year-old had visited a bar together. The argument had already started during the taxi ride home. In the apartment, the man then obviously attacked his partner. He hit her multiple times in the face, kicked her, and bit her on the cheek while she was lying on the floor.
