Date:

Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner thanks the military servant (21) who helped women who were harassed by a group of young people at Reumannplatz in Vienna. He confronted the boys. A young man (18) pulled out the knife and stabbed.

It is every woman’s nightmare to be harassed on the street at night. This happened around 8:15 p.m. – as reported – last Sunday at the Reumannplatz fire point in Favoriten. Several youths harassed two women. A soldier (21) became aware of the situation and came to the aid of those affected. He confronted the boys.

Gang chased 21-year-old
They reacted extremely aggressively and attacked the 21-year-old. He almost paid for his moral courage with his life. Because the gang was chasing him. Suddenly someone pulled the knife. The young man suffered cuts and stab wounds to his back and thigh and collapsed. Alerted police officers applied a tourniquet to his leg to stop the blood flow. The injured man was taken to hospital by ambulance, where he has now been released. He is now recovering from his injuries. The suspected perpetrator has now been arrested. It concerns an 18-year-old Syrian. The murder weapon was also seized.

Civic courage deserves special emphasis
Defense Minister Klaudia Tanner did not miss the opportunity to personally praise the young soldier: “Civil courage must be honored and above all emphasized! Because moral courage is not self-evident. We must all follow the courageous act of the young soldier as an example,” the minister thanked the soldier for his fearlessness and the help he provided. As a reward, she gave him a so-called ‘Minister Coin’. This includes a monetary gift and there is also exemption from duty.
