When the police arrived, he was still in the house but then left at the officers' request. He was arrested without resistance. An immediate restraining order and a weapons ban were also issued. No one was injured, according to the Burgenland state police directorate on Tuesday. On Tuesday morning, the man was interrogated and then transferred to the Eisenstadt prison in the afternoon. He was placed in pre-trial detention. The reason for the act is believed to be long-standing family disputes.

The Eisenstadt public prosecutor's office confirmed in the afternoon upon APA request that pre-trial detention was requested on suspicion of attempted murder against the father and dangerous threats of death against the parents. A decision must be made within 48 hours of the application being submitted.
