Because a 44-year-old man was having problems with the girlfriend of an acquaintance (32), there was a meeting on Tuesday around 9 p.m. on Taborstrasse in Vienna-Leopoldstadt, which quickly degenerated into a violent argument. Even the presence of several relatives of the 32-year-old could not prevent a scuffle with injuries.
With several family members in tow, the 32-year-old met the 44-year-old Iraqi late in the evening on Taborstrasse. According to the police, the 44-year-old seemed to have a problem with the 32-year-old’s partner. Since the attendees did not seem to agree, the attendees got into an argument in the street. During the battle of words, the 21-year-old brother-in-law of the 32-year-old suddenly punched the Iraqi in the face.
44-year-old suddenly pulled out a jackknife
The victim was slightly injured and then used his pepper spray, which injured the mother-in-law of the 32-year-old (46). A fight ensued between those present, after which the 44-year-old suddenly pulled out a pocket knife. According to information, the blade of the knife should not have been unfolded.
Weapons against Iraqis were banned
When the police – after being alerted shortly before – arrived on the scene, the pepper spray and the knife were confiscated. It was determined that there is a valid gun ban against the 44-year-old. As a result, the man was given a display, as well as a display of suspicion of threat and bodily harm. An alcohol test showed him a value of 0.82 promille. The 21-year-old is also suspected of assault.
Mother-in-law had to go to the hospital
The 32-year-old’s mother-in-law and 21-year-old brother-in-law were treated at the scene by the emergency medical services of the Vienna Professional Rescue Service, and the 44-year-old refused treatment. The 46-year-old was then taken to hospital and her brother-in-law was released to be cared for at home.
