Two police operations

Knife, pepper spray: party night ends wildly

The emergency call rang twice within an hour in Krems. The address was always the same: an event location! First an unknown person pulled out a knife, then a man was sprayed in the face with pepper spray.

The police had to involuntarily mingle with the party people twice in one night at an event location in Krems. From 2 a.m., several visitors called the emergency services.

The first victim was a 17-year-old. He was approached in the parking lot by six strangers and asked for money. When he said he had none on him, the teenager was suddenly grabbed by the jacket by one of the strangers. The stranger pulled out a knife and demanded cash with the words "Give money". However, the 17-year-old was able to break away and run to his friends at the entrance to the pub. They then called the police. However, the rowdy group had already left by the time the police arrived.

Only an hour later, the police were called again. Another party guest was sprayed in the face with pepper spray by a stranger on his way out. This was followed by blows to the back of the head. Witnesses were at least able to give the name of the fleeing attacker. The investigation by the police is ongoing.
