The area around Reumannplatz and Keplerplatz in Favoriten does not want to calm down. A discussion between two groups also escalated on Monday evening. A 30-year-old was stabbed in Arthaberpark. He is in life-threatening condition with chest, neck, leg, shoulder and abdominal injuries.
“What’s going on in Favoriten again?” A question that many people asked each other on social media on Monday evening. Shortly after midnight, the area around Reumannplatz, Keplerplatz and Laxenburger Straße was filled with blue lights. “Something bad must have happened,” people immediately assumed.
Stitches in chest, leg, shoulder, abdomen and neck
In that case, unfortunately, the assumptions were correct. As police spokesman Mattias Schuster could confirm at the request of the “Krone”, the police were sent to the Arthaberpark. According to information from “Krone”, a 30-year-old of Russian-Austrian descent lay on the edge of the grass, covered in blood, covered with stab wounds and cuts in his chest, abdomen, legs, shoulder and neck. Friends who were with him told police that the perpetrator ran towards Inzersdorfer Strasse with the knife.
Perpetrator still on the run
However, it is still unclear who caused the man’s injuries. However, it is said that it was a late-night discussion after an argument. The police immediately launched a large-scale manhunt, but so far without success. While the search for the perpetrator continues, the victim is in hospital and after emergency surgery in intensive care, his life is still in danger, even many hours after the bloody act.
Police officer attacked at Keplerplatz
It was only on May 24 that a police officer was attacked by a Jordanian (41) on Keplerplatz. Only the stab protection vest the officer was wearing saved him from serious injuries. In March, an argument at Reumannplatz escalated and a 32-year-old boy received a deep stab in the thigh. A weapons ban zone has been in place in the area since March 30. Yesterday’s stabbings took place just a few meters from that area. The call for stricter measures is therefore becoming louder.
