In May, a 22-year-old was brutally attacked during a drug deal in Vienna-Floridsdorf. Now, the handcuffs have clicked for the alleged perpetrators.

A 19-year-old Austrian citizen contacted a 22-year-old man on May 26 through social media, under the pretense of wanting to purchase a small amount of marijuana. At the agreed meeting that same evening, the man was ambushed by three young men who had previously hidden in a bush.

22-Year-Old Attacked with Baton During Robbery

One of the attackers threatened the 22-year-old with a blank-firing gun. Since the victim did not have any cash on him, he was attacked with a baton and sustained injuries. The alleged perpetrators eventually robbed him of the marijuana as well as his phone, his belt, and a pack of tissues. The 22-year-old had to be treated in the hospital. After extensive investigations, the Vienna State Criminal Police Office was able to locate the 19-year-old woman, who confessed. Subsequently, the three alleged perpetrators, aged 18 and 19, were arrested and transferred to a correctional facility on the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office. The 19-year-old was reported at large.
