Alcoholic and violent: son threatens mother in Vienna-Ottakring!
A worrying incident occurred on Tuesday evening in Vienna-Ottakring when a 39-year-old man was arrested by the police. He is suspected of threatening his 62-year-old mother with death and rioting in their shared apartment. The alarming situation required an emergency call, which the mother made around 6 p.m. However, when the emergency services arrived, the man was no longer in the apartment.
Police found damaged furniture in the devastated apartment and several unconstitutional symbols on the walls, including swastikas. This symbolism sheds serious light on the events that are characterized by the already existing tensions between mother and son. The 62-year-old told officers about multiple threats from her son, which led to a deep feeling of insecurity.
Rioters discovered in the courtyard
The suspect was finally discovered in the courtyard of the house with an empty vodka bottle in his hand. An alcohol test showed an alarming level of 2.4 per mille, which indicates high levels of alcohol. When he was arrested, the man partially confessed and was then charged with dangerous threats, damage to property and under the Prohibition Act. The authorities issued a ban on entry and approach, and a temporary ban on weapons was also issued. The 39-year-old is currently in police custody while investigations continue.
Such incidents raise questions about family tensions and the influence of alcohol on interpersonal relationships. Such violent clashes are a small but still worrying piece of the puzzle in the overall picture of crime in Vienna. Similar developments can also be seen in the reports on police crime statistics.
Collateral effect on society
As the Federal Criminal Police Office page shows, violent crime will rise again in 2024. With 217,277 cases registered and an increase compared to previous years, the authorities are having to take increasing measures to combat these crimes. In Vienna data, this reality is fueled by various social circumstances, which often result in conflicts within families.
The situation in Ottakring is exemplary of the challenges that many Viennese face every day. The man's arrest is a small but necessary step to ensure the safety of his mother and the neighborhood. It will be interesting to see how the investigation continues and what lessons are learned from this incident.
