Additionally, pepper spray was used, injuring several people. Two unknown perpetrators fled. One person suffered a non-life-threatening stab wound and was taken to a hospital, while two other victims were left in home care after emergency medical treatment.

The four victims are believed to have lived in the multi-party building in the Gellertplatz area and to have known at least one of the suspects. This suspect has already been identified and is, according to the police spokesperson, a Syrian citizen. During the prosecutor-ordered house search at the suspect's address, a knife, the alleged weapon, was secured. However, the suspect could not be found. Further investigations into the incident and the search for the suspects are ongoing.
