At Keplerplatz in Vienna, a confrontation escalated where a man was attacked by three fugitive perpetrators and allegedly injured with a knife.

On Tuesday afternoon around 3 PM, a violent confrontation occurred in the area of Keplerplatz in the 10th district of Vienna. According to the police, a 25-year-old man was attacked and injured by three unknown perpetrators.

Argument Led to Brawl

According to initial investigations, the later victim was reportedly asked by the men to leave the area. As the 25-year-old refused, the situation escalated. The three perpetrators allegedly hit the man multiple times. He also suffered an injury to his hand, presumably from a sharp object – possibly a knife.

Suspects Still at Large

Whether the individuals involved knew each other beforehand is the subject of ongoing investigations. An immediately initiated manhunt has so far been unsuccessful.
