Viennese Father Allegedly Beat Sons and Threatened 11-Year-Old with Knife: Arrest
The trigger for the dispute is said to have been a letter previously received from the police, in which the 11-year-old son was accused of shoplifting. When the police arrived at the family's apartment around 5 pm, they were also able to meet the 62-year-old father. He initially did not admit to the allegations. Meanwhile, the 15-year-old brother of the 11-year-old reported that he had also been hit by the father.
The 62-year-old Austrian citizen was temporarily arrested. There is suspicion of bodily harm to his two sons and suspicion of severe coercion to the younger one using a knife. This was temporarily secured. A restraining and approach ban as well as a temporary weapons ban were issued against the suspect. The family was previously unknown to the authorities. The mother was not at home at the time of the incident.
