Before his interrogation
Knife Attack at 2 a.m. on Linzer Landstraße
He was sitting under a tree, bleeding, when the police arrived: Around 2:11 a.m., a 24-year-old Turkish man was stabbed in the back with a knife on Linzer Landstraße near Volksgarten. The assailant is on the run, and the victim is currently in hiding. However, police were able to apprehend another knife attacker after several months.

The Turkish man was injured in the back, but according to the police, his life was not in danger; the wound only required stitches. The search for the assailant is proving difficult: The victim had been discharged from the hospital and has not been available for questioning since then—apparently, the 24-year-old has gone into hiding.
Hotspot for Marginalized Groups
The Volksgarten and the parallel section of the southern Landstraße repeatedly make negative headlines. Despite the Musiktheater, a major visitor attraction, the neighborhood has not seen the revitalization that was originally hoped for. On the contrary: the Volksgarten, in particular, remains a hotspot for marginalized groups despite numerous attempts to change this, much like the neighboring main train station.
A knife-wielding assailant is in pretrial detention
Based on an arrest warrant issued by the Wels Public Prosecutor’s Office, the State Criminal Police Office launched a targeted manhunt for a 48-year-old North Macedonian man. He is suspected of stabbing his customer in the back with a knife on April 29, 2026, during a drug deal at a guesthouse in Wels, thereby seriously injuring him.
Fled to His Home Country
After the crime, the 48-year-old is believed to have fled to his home country of North Macedonia. Through extensive investigations, police determined that the fugitive had re-entered Austrian territory on Wednesday morning. He was eventually tracked down and arrested in the area of Vienna’s Westbahnhof station. After consultation with the Wels District Attorney’s Office, the man was transferred to the Wels Correctional Facility.
