Drunk and violent: man kicks his partner in Floridsdorf!

In a frightening incident in Vienna-Floridsdorf, an alcoholic man physically attacked his partner during an argument. On Tuesday afternoon, the 37-year-old got into an argument with his 40-year-old partner, which resulted in a kick. Luckily, the woman was able to escape to a neighbor, who was also drawn into the aggressive confrontation. The accused threatened to kill the neighbor, which further escalated the situation.

The police arrived at the crime scene, an apartment building in the Großfeldsiedlung, around 4 p.m. and arrested the 37-year-old man. An alcohol test showed a remarkable blood alcohol level of 1.22. The woman sustained a minor injury to her knee in the incident, which luckily ended relatively lightly. In this context, a ban on entry and approach as well as a temporary ban on weapons were issued against the aggressor in order to ensure the woman's safety.
