Bloody deed in Innsbruck! A woman (30) stabbed her partner with a bread knife in an apartment in Innsbruck. He survived. The Tyrolean woman was arrested for attempted murder.

As the police only announced on Saturday, the serious incident took place in an apartment in Innsbruck at around 7.30 p.m. on Wednesday. "A 30-year-old Austrian woman stabbed her partner, a 34-year-old Serbian man, in the back with a kitchen knife after an initially verbal and then physical altercation," the police said. An initially verbal argument escalated. The woman is also said to have been slightly injured.

Taken to hospital in Innsbruck
A relative of the victim heard about the stabbing over the phone and called the ambulance and police. The 34-year-old was probably very lucky in his misfortune. According to the investigators, he escaped with "moderate injuries" and had to be taken to Innsbruck Hospital. "After initial questioning by the police, he was treated as an outpatient", said the executive.

Man will also be charged
The 30-year-old was arrested and taken to Innsbruck prison on Friday afternoon by order of the Innsbruck public prosecutor's office. During her interrogation, the alleged perpetrator said that her partner had been violent towards her several times in the past. This had also been partially recorded by the police. The man was therefore also reported on suspicion of continued violence.
