A man suffered a stab wound to the abdomen on the night of Sunday in Vienna-Favoriten. The Syrian is seriously, but not life-threateningly injured, said police spokesman Philipp Haßlinger to the APA. According to the man's statements, he was likely attacked by an unknown person in the Reumannplatz area - one of Vienna's weapon prohibition zones. At first, he did not even notice the injury and continued walking a bit further, but then collapsed.
