Attempted robbery in Favoriten: Drunk man defends himself against attackers!
On Whit Monday, June 10, 2025, an almost unbelievable incident occurred in Vienna-Favoriten. On Klausenburger Strasse, two unknown perpetrators tried to rob a heavily drunk man of his wallet and cell phone. According to reports from vienna.at This happened around 5:30 a.m. The perpetrators did not shy away from threatening the victim with a knife. However, he stubbornly refused to hand over his valuables, which led to a scuffle in which the man suffered minor injuries.
Although the incident appeared to be dangerous, the perpetrators fled without any loot. The question arises as to why the victim only alerted the emergency services more than an hour later. His considerable alcohol consumption could have been a reason for this, as the reports continue. The police were informed by the emergency services and the investigation was handed over to the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, southern branch.
