Assault in Vienna-Hernals: 29-Year-Old Arrested

The younger man was taken to a hospital. During his interrogation, however, the accused claimed that he had only defended himself against an attack by the 26-year-old, reported the state police department on Friday.

29-Year-Old Provisionally Arrested in Vienna

The older man was initially provisionally arrested at the scene in Steinergasse. Later, the suspect, who is from Ethiopia, was transferred to a detention center on suspicion of serious bodily harm after consultation with the Vienna public prosecutor's office.

Confronted with these allegations, the injured Somali citizen denied the 29-year-old's statements. "The 26-year-old was reported at large," said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger.
