A man who was probably completely insane attacked passers-by with a hammer in Vienna-Meidling on Wednesday. A woman (34) and a 19-year-old man were injured. A window pane also felt the force of the tool. The suspect is said to have consumed drugs beforehand.
It all happened very suddenly on Altmannsdorfer Straße at around 12.15 p.m.: A 30-year-old Serbian man is said to have attacked a passer-by who was out with her two children in a drug frenzy. According to initial information, the man believed that one of the children belonged to him. He pulled out a hammer and finally attacked the Afghan woman, then smashed the window pane of an apartment building.
A 19-year-old man, who was out and about at the scene of the incident, also fell victim to the man. The young Ukrainian wanted to alert the police, then he too was attacked.
Suspect arrested at the scene
Both people were slightly injured in the attack, the woman's children were unharmed. The 34-year-old woman was taken to hospital with injuries to her head after receiving emergency medical treatment from the Vienna Emergency Medical Services. She has already been discharged. The second victim refused the intervention of emergency services.
