Seemingly Without Reason: 28-Year-Old Tried to Stab 36-Year-Old at Vienna Snack Stand

Around 1:15 AM, police officers noticed a man with a heavily bleeding injury as they were following a vehicle for a traffic violation on Neubaugürtel. When they addressed the 36-year-old about the injury, he stated that he had been attacked with a knife shortly before. He pointed to a darkly dressed man who was trying to quickly leave the scene. The officers called for backup and detained the suspected perpetrator. The man behaved aggressively and was arrested. The alleged weapon, a folding knife, was found in a bush.

According to initial investigations, the 28-year-old citizen of the Russian Federation had previously pushed the 36-year-old several times at a snack stand without any apparent reason before attempting to stab him. The various cuts on the hand are said to have occurred during a defensive action. The 36-year-old was provided with emergency medical care by the Vienna professional rescue service.
