After Attack at Vienna's Ferris Wheel Square: Twelve-Year-Old as Another Suspect

According to a statement from the Vienna police, this involves a twelve-year-old. The 14-year-old and a 15-year-old accomplice were already arrested on Tuesday and taken to a detention center.

During the interrogation, it was revealed that the victim and the 14-year-old Syrian suspect knew each other. It is assumed that they frequented the same locations, said a police spokeswoman in response to an APA inquiry.

Victim and Perpetrator Knew Each Other

There was reportedly an altercation between the victim and the suspect a few weeks ago, during which the 16-year-old allegedly attacked the 14-year-old. The twelve-year-old - a Romanian citizen - will be questioned in the coming days. The police believe that another teenager was involved and continue to investigate.
