After a brutal robbery of two men on July 24 in the area of Keplerplatz in Vienna-Favoriten, the police were able to track down two suspects.

The two Syrians, aged 23 and 33, are said to have attacked their victims with a knife, branches, and a wood saw, robbing them of cash and mobile phones. Both men were seriously injured, as the police stated in a release on Saturday.

Due to "intensive and meticulous investigative work," the criminal investigators succeeded in tracking down the two suspects. The 23-year-old was already in custody at the time of the investigation due to other offenses. The 33-year-old was arrested on December 1 by the Vienna standby unit at Schwechat Airport when he re-entered Austria from a trip abroad.
