Sunday drama in Vienna

Armed with knives: Family conflict escalates!

On Sunday evening, an alarming incident occurred in which there was a violent confrontation between male members of two families. According to initial findings, an argument escalated to such an extent that the alleged perpetrators grabbed a knife and attacked each other.

Movie-like scenes apparently led to a dramatic escalation on Sunday evening in Vienna's 15th district. Several young men between the ages of 16 and 25 clashed in the street. What began as a verbal argument quickly developed into a heated confrontation with unexpected consequences.

Attacked with knives
The men apparently belong to two different families and are said to have brutally beaten each other and occasionally attacked each other with knives. The trigger for the argument is not yet known - several knives are said to have been found and provisionally seized. 

Four people slightly injured
A total of four people were injured in the course of the altercation and received emergency medical treatment from the emergency services. The injured persons then had to be taken to a nearby hospital. Fortunately, none of the injured persons are in danger of dying.

An 18-year-old is suspected of having carried out the attack with a knife and has been provisionally arrested. The others involved have been released. The investigation is in full swing.
