Woman stabbed to death
Automatically saved draft
After a brutal knife attack on an employee in a Viennese law firm on Monday afternoon, the 56-year-old woman's life is still in danger. The 53-year-old client is said to have stabbed his lawyer's assistant dozens of times. The police are still searching for the man and are calling on the public to be careful.
The alleged attacker is a 53-year-old client of the law firm in Vienna-Landstraße who is under guardianship. He had apparently found the lawyer he trusted to help him - but he still snapped.
Stabbed assistant dozens of times
The fact is: At around 3.15 pm, the 53-year-old suspect is said to have entered the lawyer's office with a knife in his jacket. Suddenly, he stabbed his lawyer's assistant as if out of his mind. He attacked the woman with dozens of stab wounds and critically injured her. The reason for the attack was still unknown on Monday evening.
According to the police, the man fled on foot with the murder weapon after the attack. On Monday evening, the police continued to search for the man using a mugshot. As the 52-year-old may still have the weapon with him, the police called on the public to exercise caution. "Call the police immediately", they said.
Eyewitnesses report: "There were police everywhere"
The employees of the café on the first floor of the building experienced the dramatic operation first-hand. "There were police everywhere," one employee told the Krone. The search initially focused on the surrounding stores near the crime scene.
The employee was critically injured by a man and then taken to hospital.
