A 34-year-old in Vienna-Hernals has been spreading more than just unease for some time: the Hungarian is now being investigated for attempted serious bodily harm. He allegedly strangled a student and ran over a jogger.
The homeless man has repeatedly attracted bad attention in the past. The fact that he randomly throws pebbles at passersby is just the tip of the iceberg. Because now the police are investigating the 34-year-old, who hangs around Rupertusplatz in Neuwaldegg and also lives there. Recently he literally went for a 13 year old’s throat. The student’s father has filed a complaint.
The police are aware of the incident
In the area around Waldegghofgasse, the Hungarian allegedly attacked and strangled the boy on a park bench. The police confirm the incident, but their hands are tied: “The city police command is aware of the circumstances of the suspect. There has been and will be ongoing communication with other authorities to investigate and subsequently take further legal action,” the State Police Directorate said.
Attack is unlikely to be an isolated incident
The Hungarian is also no stranger to the district administration. Accordingly, the Dornbach Parish Council and the Vienna Social Fund would care for the homeless person. With moderate success, it seems, because the attack on the student is not an isolated incident. Recently he allegedly ran after a jogger for no reason and punched her in the face. The waves rise in the Grätzel. “Does something worse have to happen for someone to do something?” An old saying that is being put to the test.
