A man attacked his two opponents with a knife in front of a homeless shelter in Vienna-Hernals on Friday evening, seriously injuring one of them. The perpetrator is on the run, and the police are still searching for him.

The cause of the dispute in front of a homeless shelter in Vienna-Hernals is still unclear. According to witnesses, a man threatened another with death and pulled out a knife. The 47-year-old was able to dodge the attack, but suffered minor injuries. His 38-year-old friend, however, was seriously injured in the sternum.

Man Out of Danger After Emergency Surgery

Emergency services from the Vienna Professional Rescue provided immediate emergency medical assistance on the spot and took the injured to the hospital. According to the police, the victim was out of danger on Saturday after an emergency operation. The alleged perpetrator fled before the police arrived. An immediately initiated search was unsuccessful. The Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office has since issued an arrest warrant for the man known by name.
