22-year-old beats 41-year-old in Vienna - police are looking for witnesses!

A particularly brutal incident occurred in Vienna-Mariahilf: On November 1, 2025, a 41-year-old man was seriously injured in front of the “Kaunitz Lounge” on Magdalenenstrasse. Between 4:20 and 4:30 a.m. there was a confrontation between the man and a 22-year-old Austrian. According to reports from vienna.at The younger man punched and kicked his victim because she couldn't offer him cigarettes.

The 41-year-old suffered serious facial injuries in the attack. The police have already started an investigation and are urgently looking for witnesses who witnessed this incident. Information can be submitted confidentially to the Criminal Investigation Department of the Margareten City Police Command on 01-31310-55226.

Incidents in Vienna

This brutal incident is one of a series of violent attacks that have shocked Vienna in recent months. On February 8, 2025, a serious robbery of a 19-year-old woman occurred in Webgasse. The perpetrator, who also struck at dawn, attacked his victim with his fists and stabbed her multiple times with a knife. The woman was left bleeding on the sidewalk until passers-by called emergency services. The perpetrator escaped and made several payments using the victim's stolen ATM card, which led to photos of the suspect being secured. How today.at reported, the suspect has now been identified based on clues.

Of course, the question remains what is going on in our city. Is it just a coincidence that such incidents have become more common lately? Concern is spreading among the population. The police appeal to citizens to be vigilant and, if in doubt, to intervene immediately or get help.

Call for witnesses

The increasing propensity for violence, especially late at night, is alarming. It is therefore all the more important that witnesses, as in the case of the 41-year-old, come forward to shed light on the matter. The faster information flows, the better the police can be helped to solve the case. Vienna is and should remain a safe place for everyone where such attacks will not be tolerated.
