Psychological problems

His own mother strangled – neighbor intervened

A 35-year-old man strangled his own mother in her apartment in Vienna's Floridsdorf district on Friday afternoon. He also threatened to kill the woman. A neighbor rushed to help.

The neighbor intervened to protect her. The police arrested the 35-year-old Austrian. He was taken to a prison. In addition, he was banned from entering and approaching the house and a temporary weapons ban was issued.

The woman suffered injuries to her neck. The motive for the brutal attack is likely to be the man's psychological problems.
