Shocking scenes unfolded in a Viennese apartment in the early evening: A 20-year-old is said to have threatened his own mother (48) with a knife and hit her in the face. The father called the police at the last minute - worse was probably only just prevented.

According to the 48-year-old mother, her son suddenly became aggressive and physically attacked her. But that was not all: when the father called the police, the young man grabbed a kitchen knife and allegedly attacked his own mother. The woman had the presence of mind to escape into a room and lock the door behind her. The father immediately reached for his cell phone and alerted the emergency services.

Mother refused medical treatment
When the alerted officers arrived on the scene, the 20-year-old was immediately arrested on suspicion of making dangerous threats and causing bodily harm. He was immediately banned from entering and approaching the premises and a temporary weapons ban was issued. Although the 48-year-old woman was punched in the face by her son, she refused medical treatment.
