Brutal Robbery in Vienna Apartment: Victim Surprised in Sleep and Seriously Injured

On April 8, a 37-year-old man became the victim of a brutal robbery in his attic apartment in Vienna-Simmering. According to the police, two as yet unknown perpetrators gained access to the man's attic apartment through an open balcony door at around 4:00 a.m. and attacked him in his sleep.

Victim strangled, attacked with knife and robbed

The robbery turned extremely violent: The perpetrators strangled the 37-year-old, kicked him, and inflicted multiple stab and cut wounds with a knife. They repeatedly demanded that he hand over his valuables. The perpetrators made off with a four-figure sum of cash, the victim's mobile phone, jewelry, several watches, and the car key. They then fled through the apartment door in an unknown direction.

Severely injured 37-year-old saved himself to neighbor

Despite severe injuries, the bleeding man managed to save himself to his neighbor, who immediately alerted the emergency services. The Vienna professional rescue service provided emergency medical care to the victim and then took him to a hospital. There is currently no further information on his current health condition.

An immediate search initiated by the police has so far been unsuccessful. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office has taken over the investigation.
