Victim undergoes emergency surgery
Another bloody stabbing in Vienna
On Sunday night, there was another bloody knife attack in Vienna-Favoriten. A suspected Afghan (17) was arrested shortly afterwards. The victim, a native Iraqi, (18) had to undergo emergency surgery in hospital.
The stabbing occurred in Van-der-Nüll-Gasse in Favoriten at around 11 pm. The suspect had stabbed the victim in the back and thigh with a kitchen knife. This also injured his lungs, making it difficult for the 18-year-old to breathe for a short time.
Police were on the scene quickly
The police arrived on the scene before the emergency services. Fortunately, there was an officer on duty who is also an emergency paramedic. He was able to stabilize the victim using a chest seal - a special bandage to prevent pneumothorax. The seriously injured man was taken to hospital. His life was briefly in danger.
Weapon recovered
When the police arrived, the 17-year-old Afghan was found in Dampfgasse and arrested. The murder weapon, a 30-centimeter-long kitchen knife, was discovered a short time later by a police sniffer dog and recovered. In addition, narcotics - presumably cocaine - were seized from the suspect.
Investigations are ongoing
It is still unclear why the stabbing occurred. The suspect has yet to be questioned. According to the police, however, the two had known each other beforehand. An attentive "Krone" reader reporter witnessed and recorded the night-time intervention by the emergency services.
The Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (BFA) immediately initiated measures to revoke the protection status of the suspect, according to the Ministry of the Interior.
Knife attacks on the increase
In recent months, there has been an increase in knife attacks in Vienna, some of which have resulted in serious injuries. A weapons ban zone was therefore temporarily set up at Reumannplatz, but the crime scene is outside this zone.
