Drama in Vienna-Penzing: Ms. Heavy partner in a dispute with a knife!

Wien-Penzing, Österreich - Tonight, on June 25, 2025, there was a serious incident in an apartment in the Penzing district of Vienna. A neighbor who heard screams alerted the police at 9:15 p.m. According to 5min.at Stach a 34-year-old Lithuanian citizen during a dispute in her 45-year partner with a knife in her upper body. The seriously injured man had to be taken to the hospital immediately by the Vienna career rescue. His injuries were classified as serious but not life -threatening.

The alcohol -related circumstances probably contributed to the escalation of the situation - the woman had around two per thousand in her blood. The investigation was taken over by the Vienna State Criminal Police Office and the accused was arrested and transferred to a prison.

But not only in this apartment there was a violent incident recently. In a prayer house in the Penzing district, a dispute between two men from the special unit Wega was ended on the same evening. Here a 49-year-old pulled out a bread knife and threatened another man with death. The perpetrator acted aggressively, screamed loudly and ultimately even attacked the police. Despite repeated reminders to rest, the situation took a dramatic turn when the officials had to use pepper spray to curb it. The man tried to flee, but was overwhelmed with a taser and then displayed due to serious coercion. He was then also transferred to a judiciary, as reported.

a social problem: violence in partnership

The incidents also make a serious problem: violence in the partnership. According to violentinfo.at, men tend to be affected by crimes, but women experience violence by intimate partners much more frequently. Statistics show alarming numbers: 14 % of women in Austria reported physical violence in the partnership, 37 % experienced psychological violence. These experiences make it clear how important prevention measures are, which have been implemented in Austria since 2020.

A central aspect of violence prevention is the networking of the police and victim protection facilities, as well as mandatory consultations for dangers. These measures are intended to raise awareness of the problem and help those affected faster and more targeted.

Overall, the question remains how such acts of violence can be prevented in the future. The social acceptance of violence in relationships is checked and questioned. Tonight has again shown that there is an urgent need for action to promote security and prevention.
