A 63-year-old alerted the police on Saturday around 1 p.m.: He stated that he had first been threatened by a man with a gun in his bar in Vienna-Margareten, and then hit him on the head with it. The motive for the crime is likely the planned sale of the restaurant.
According to police spokeswoman Julia Schick, the victim suffered a two-centimeter laceration during the attack. The suspect is likely someone interested in the case, but the victim only knows his first name.
Dispute over the sale of the restaurant
There would have been inconsistencies between the men a few days earlier, because the owner as a buyer had decided not to enter the unknown.
Perpetrator still on the run
On Saturday, the man finally reentered the restaurant where the attack took place. When he saw the 63-year-old, he allegedly first shouted at him and then pulled the firearm in question from his waistband. The wound was treated on the spot by Vienna’s professional rescue service. A report was filed on suspicion of bodily harm and dangerous threats against the initially unknown perpetrator. So far he is still on the run.
