The police were alerted on Thursday evening due to an escalating dispute between a man and a group of teenagers at Franz-Jonas-Platz.

When officers from the Floridsdorf City Police Command arrived at the scene and questioned those involved, the three teenagers (aged 14, 16, and 17) stated that an unknown man had insulted them in a grocery store and threatened them with death.

Vienna Police Find Weapon and Fake IDs After Dispute at Franz-Jonas-Platz

Suddenly, the man pulled out a folding knife and chased them. During the chase, one of the teenagers fell, and the attacker attempted to stab the 16-year-old lying on the ground multiple times. However, he did not succeed, and the teenager remained unharmed. The alleged perpetrator, a 38-year-old man who was apparently under the influence of drugs, denied threatening, pursuing, and attacking the teenagers. However, the officers discovered not only the alleged weapon, a brass knuckle with an integrated folding knife, but also sixteen allegedly fake IDs, driver's licenses, and registration certificates under various names and secured them. The 38-year-old was provisionally arrested and charged with suspicion of dangerous threat, attempted intentional serious bodily harm, multiple forgery of specially protected documents, and under the Weapons Act.
