Food delivery worker in Vienna threatened with a gun – perpetrator on the run!
On the night of June 19, 2025, a dangerous incident occurred in Vienna-Donaustadt, which is of great importance not only for the food delivery person affected. Shortly after midnight, the 28-year-old was threatened with a gun by three unknown men on Wagramer Strasse. The perpetrators demanded cash and the delivery person's cell phone. When he hesitated, he was hit twice in the face. Luckily, the man was able to scream loudly for help and escaped to safety. After he was sure that the attackers were no longer pursuing him, he called the emergency number and received medical care from the Vienna professional rescue service. However, initial police searches were initially unsuccessful, which is why the Vienna State Criminal Police Office took over the investigation. This is reported by [5min.at](https://www.5min.at/5202506191258/essenszusteller-28-in-wien-mit- weapon-bedroht/).
Food delivery workers in Vienna repeatedly find themselves in dangerous situations, which is illustrated by the increase in robberies in the city. According to current reports from ORF, such incidents are worrying and raise questions about the safety of delivery people who deliver their goods every day. The figures show that targeted action against such attacks is necessary to ensure the safety of delivery workers.
And what do the statistics say?
The police crime statistics (PKS) provide interesting insights into the development of crime in Austria. It records all reported cases, the basis for which is the Austrian Criminal Code (StGB) and other ancillary criminal laws. Since 2001, all cases have been registered electronically, allowing strategic planning to combat crime. However, the PKS, which is provided by bundeskritikamt.at, is not able to record dark field phenomena, such as unnamed crimes or the outcome of court proceedings. The main influence on the numbers is the reporting behavior of the population and the intensity of police controls.
The incident in Donaustadt shows once again how important preventive measures by the police are to ensure the safety of citizens. The security reports prepared by the Federal Ministry of the Interior and the Federal Ministry of Justice provide important information and should be followed closely by the public.
The public is called upon to be vigilant and to contact the police immediately in the event of an attack. Only together can we achieve the goal of making the city safer and preventing such incidents in the future.
