Brutal attack in Vienna-Favoriten: man with a cut in the hospital!
A shocking incident occurred on Sunday evening in Vienna-Favoriten. A 43-year-old man went to a trauma hospital with a serious cut injury to his chest. The emergency call was immediately made by a hospital employee when the injured man showed up at the hospital around 10 p.m. and reported that he had been the victim of an attack. The crown and Vienna.at report that the incident took place on Favoritenstrasse around 9 p.m.
The man told the police that he had been attacked without warning by a group of “Arab-looking men”. One of these attackers used a sharp object against him. According to his statements, there was no previous argument and the perpetrators were unknown to him. The police are now being supported by the southern branch of the Vienna State Criminal Police Office, which has started the investigation.
Investigations underway
Additional information about the incident has since been provided. The Am Schöpfwerk police station is also involved in the investigation. These brutal attacks in the city alarm security authorities as they indicate that perceptions of public safety are under increasing pressure. The investigators are now required to find possible witnesses and evaluate possible surveillance recordings in order to find out more about the fleeing perpetrators.
Such incidents are in the context of the general security situation in Vienna, which has sporadically come into focus in recent years. The people of Vienna are rightly wondering what is being done to make the streets safer again.
This incident reminds us of the need to strengthen security measures in the city. The shocked citizen, who has now become the focus of the investigation, was apparently simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. It remains to be hoped that such attacks will soon be a thing of the past and that the perpetrators will be caught quickly.
