Showmen Got Into a Fight at the Vienna Prater

According to police spokeswoman Anna Gutt, the starting point was that the 58-year-old found the music from the neighboring ride too loud when it had customers.

Passerby reported escalation of the showmen's dispute

Officers from the Vorgartenstraße police station were stopped around 5:45 PM by a passerby who reported the escalation of the dispute between the two showmen. The 25-year-old then told them that there were repeated disputes with the neighboring shooting gallery over the volume of his music. This time, the 58-year-old neighbor came to him with an iron rod, pressed it against his chest, and pushed him several times.

58-year-old temporarily arrested

The older man then went back to his stand but returned with the pocket knife and made a stabbing motion. He is also said to have threatened to kill his younger opponent. The 58-year-old partially admitted to the actions and was temporarily arrested. The police secured the pocket knife. The shooting gallery employee was charged with dangerous threats and attempted bodily harm on the orders of the public prosecutor's office and was released.
