A convicted violent criminal (25) recently barricaded himself in a communal kitchen in the prison in Asten (Upper Austria). There she first sprayed the contents of a fire extinguisher – then she even pulled out a knife and threatened to kill her.
A 25-year-old who has been incarcerated for years in Asten Prison, a prison for mentally abnormal lawbreakers, has been convicted many times. She has allegedly been accused of serious bodily harm on several occasions, including to police officers. Last Saturday, another note was added to her long criminal file. According to information from “Krone”, the apparently mentally ill holed up in a kitchen of the “closed”.
Fire extinguishers and knives were frequently used
There she would have removed a fire extinguisher, the contents of which were sprayed into the kitchen. Thanks to the courageous intervention of the prison guards, the situation temporarily calmed down. But not too long. The 25-year-old pulled a kitchen knife from a drawer that was insufficiently secured. “Come in, I’ll stab you,” she is said to have said, holding the knife to her neck.
How does a violent criminal get a knife?
Shortly before a taser was deployed, it was finally possible to defuse the more than just precarious situation. The Ministry of Justice confirmed the incident to the “Krone”. The woman was never left unattended in the situation, it is said. According to the ministry, she was injured and taken to the Kepler Klinikum. It’s not clear how she got to the knife. It is possible that social workers deposited the “weapon” as cooking utensils in the prison kitchen.
