The two men who attacked an 84-year-old woman in her apartment in Vienna-Floridsdorf on Thursday evening are still on the run. The victim is still in shock and has not yet been heard.
As reported, a perpetrator knocked on the pensioner’s door around 8 p.m. on Thursday and started talking to her. He wanted to know if there was still an apartment available in the house. Suddenly, the other man who had been on the stairs appeared, covered the 84-year-old’s mouth and pushed her into the apartment.
According to police, the two men tied the woman’s arms and legs and covered her eyes and mouth with a cloth. They then locked the pensioner in her bathroom. Meanwhile, the perpetrators took jewelry and cash and fled, police spokesman Mattias Schuster said.
Tip: Stay calm and follow the instructions
The victim was eventually able to free himself and alerted the police. The woman suffered abrasions to her face and received first aid from the Vienna Professional Rescue Service. Because she is still in shock, she has not yet been questioned. The Vienna State Criminal Investigation Department is conducting an investigation.
In the event of a home burglary, the police advise you to remain calm and follow the instructions of the perpetrators. “Hand over the requested money or items slowly and calmly. The protection of life and health takes precedence over material values.” It is important to remember the characteristics and descriptions of the criminals. This supports the search.
