After pursuit
Knife threatener stood against the wall after arrest
No, it wasn't a shoot for "Soko Linz", it was real: a stateless man from Linz (23) had attacked a Syrian (26) during an argument and threatened to kill him. After a pursuit, he was caught at the Südbahnhofmarkt in Linz. His weapon was 18 centimeters long.
Scenes like in a thriller took place on Tuesday at 2 pm at the Südbahnhofmarkt in Linz. Officers from the rapid intervention group and the riot unit had arrived with two minibuses to arrest a stateless man (23) from Linz. The suspect was handcuffed. Two police officers restrained the man by leaning him against the wall of a building in Krankenhausstraße until he was taken away. The incident caused quite a stir, as it had happened in broad daylight next to a children's playground.
But what had happened beforehand?
The stateless man is said to have clashed with a Syrian man (26) on the corner of Stieglbauernstraße and Freytagstraße in the Franckviertel district, 1.2 kilometers away, and threatened to kill him with his 18-centimeter-long knife, which has a knuckle duster attached to the pommel. A witness called the police. The threatener was arrested and taken to the police detention center in Linz, where he was questioned on Tuesday.
Knife attacks have been on the increase for years. In the previous year, 350 firearms, 2479 stabbing weapons and 615 slashing weapons were used, carried or threatened to be used in 85,374 violent crimes nationwide.
