As reported, a gang war between rival clans of foreigners had already escalated on Friday evening in Anton-Kummerer-Park and Treustraße. Young Syrians aged between 15 and 21 and Chechens attacked each other with wooden slats, pepper spray, knives and even firearms.
Numerous emergency calls
The situation escalated again on Sunday night. The police received numerous emergency calls reporting armed people in the area of Klosterneuburger Straße, Anton-Kummerer-Park and Hannovermarkt. Within minutes, officers from the Brigittenau municipal police command, WEGA, the riot unit and the service dog unit were on the scene.
Subsequently, 24 people were checked. The police seized two knives and a pepper spray. No criminal acts were committed. However, the men encountered are likely to be connected to the altercation on Friday evening.
Four injured in another gang war
Another shock for the residents of Meidling subway station. Two gangs of foreigners, allegedly once again Syrians against Chechens, are believed to have clashed again in the area of the Philadelphia Bridge. Four people were injured by the police on Sunday evening.
"Three men were stabbed and one person was injured by blunt force trauma. The search for suspects is in full swing," confirmed police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger in response to an inquiry from the "Krone" newspaper.
A police helicopter was also deployed and circled over the residential area for several minutes. A series of violence shakes the federal capital Vienna!
