In the Längenfeldgasse subway station (Vienna-Meidling), a 37-year-old man struck a train car with a folding knife on Tuesday, as reported by the police in a statement the following day.

The authorities were alerted due to an altercation in the station. The 37-year-old behaved aggressively and uncooperatively, insulted the officers, and did not calm down despite repeated warnings. Consequently, he was temporarily arrested. The Hungarian is said to have been hit by an unknown person beforehand and then brandished the knife. This knife - which had meanwhile fallen onto the tracks - was secured. Investigations for dangerous threats and bodily harm are ongoing.
