Alarm in tranquil Rudersdorf: a large contingent of police officers arrived in the village in southern Burgenland on Friday. According to initial reports, an argument between a man and a young woman triggered the operation early in the morning. The suspect was apprehended, taken away and taken to a clinic. The investigation is in full swing.

As soon as the children had gathered at school on Friday for the report card distribution, almost a dozen patrol cars from all over the area gathered in Rudersdorf. The police drove through the village of 2,200 inhabitants in the Jennersdorf district with their sirens blaring, startling the residents: "Oh dear, something's happened!"

Woman screamed for help
A young woman had triggered the call-out, as was reported shortly afterwards. She stormed into a store and raised the alarm. In her apartment not far away, she is said to have been threatened with being killed by a man of almost the same age. Apparently there had been an argument beforehand. She ran away out of fear. Her desperate cries for help were heard by neighbors.

Man arrested
The police were able to quickly end the large-scale operation in Rudersdorf. The suspect was quickly apprehended. He was taken by ambulance to a special clinic in Graz. The young woman is being cared for. The search of the apartment caused astonishment among the neighbors.

"It looked like a Messi house. The police found several weapons, including a machete." The investigation has only just begun.
