Suspect Arrested After Deadly Dispute Among Homeless in Vienna

During the dispute between two men, a 46-year-old man was pushed to the ground by his opponent and fell on the back of his head. The man remained responsive and was taken to the hospital, where he, however, died a few days later from his injuries.

Witness Recognized Suspect Again in Vienna Park

A witness alerted the emergency services on June 27 at around 7:50 PM when he saw the altercation between the two men in Loquaipark. The cause of the dispute remained unclear. An immediate search for the suspect initially yielded no results. A witness, who was also in the park on the day of the incident, recognized the suspect, a Slovak citizen, last Thursday in the same park again and alerted the police. The man was then arrested and, by order of the Vienna public prosecutor's office, taken to a detention center. During his interrogation, he did not confess. The Vienna State Criminal Police Office, Central Branch, took over the investigations.
