After the discovery of an unconscious 35-year-old on August 19 near Reumannplatz, handcuffs clicked for two suspects.

The Vienna professional rescue service took the 35-year-old to the hospital in a critical condition with severe head injuries. The investigations were taken over by the South branch of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office. At that time, neither a criminal offense nor an accident could be ruled out.

Two men arrested after discovery of seriously injured person

Through the thorough investigative work of the criminal officers, suspicion quickly hardened against two men. A 36-year-old and a 33-year-old, both Austrian citizens, are said to have gotten into an argument with the victim on that day. Additionally, there is said to have been a physical attack on the 35-year-old. Both suspects were arrested in early August 2025 on the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office. The 33-year-old made a partial confession during his interrogation, unlike the 36-year-old. Both men were transferred to a correctional facility. The victim remains in inpatient treatment in the hospital.
