Brutal robbery in Floridsdorf: 18-year-old seriously injured!

Floridsdorf, Österreich - A shocking incident occurred on June 10, 2025 in Floridsdorf. An 18-year-old Viennese was the victim of a brutal robbery around 4:30 p.m. The young man had previously met with a 17-year-old school colleague to learn when they were suddenly surrounded and threatened by several men. The attackers immediately brutally advanced and suggested the victim to rob his belongings - backpack, mobile phone and wallet. After the attack, the perpetrators fled in an unknown direction. The victim suffered several bruises on the face and head and had to be taken to the hospital for further treatment.

Another questionable detail of the incident is that shortly after the attack, the police received an emergency call about a 20-year-old man who is said to have beaten his younger sister. This 17-year-old, who was involved in the attack, stated that her brother might be involved in the robbery. When the police arrived, the brother had already disappeared from the apartment. A ban on entering and rising was given against him, and he was reported on suspicion of robbery and assault. The case shows how closely interwoven relationship structures can result in violent events and raises questions about legal responsibility.

Just a few days earlier, on June 6th, there was another robbery in a law firm in Vienna-Wieden. Here, an employee was attacked by two men and threatened with a weapon that was a knife or scissors according to reports. The perpetrators pushed the woman into the premises and pulled them on their hair as they stole cash from the safe. The two attackers, 29 and 33 years old, were arrested on site by the police. This throws another light on the question of public security in the city. The investigation is carried out by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Mitte, whereby the background of the raid is still unclear.

according to the police crime statistics (PKS) The topic of robberies in Austria is not new. The PKS continuously records the development of criminal activities in the country, which provides information about the security situation for the police and society. These statistics are important for strategic planning in the field of fighting crime and help to recognize trends and react in good time. Interestingly, the PKS shows that the display behavior of the population and the intensity of the police controls are essential factors for the development of crime statistics.

In view of these past incidents, it remains to be hoped that both the police and politics continue to take measures to increase security for all Viennese and to counteract such violent assault.
