Judgment Against 31-Year-Old After Threat with Knife at Vienna Central Station

After a verbal exchange and mutual spitting, the 31-year-old pulled a knife from her right boot at Vienna Central Station and threatened the man with a stab to the neck. "I wanted him to leave my mental field," the defendant explained.

31-Year-Old in Court After Threat at Vienna Central Station: "Feel Fields Around Me"

Almost two months earlier - on February 13 - she had punched another man in the face in a building on Laxenburger Straße in Favoriten, resulting in a split lip. She felt threatened by this man because he had affected her "energy field" and she had been weakened due to an infection, the defendant explained. At that time, she fled with her mother to an Airbnb apartment because constant "energy field attacks" had been happening to her.

"I feel fields around me," the judge learned from the defendant, who was dressed entirely in black. These fields would "spy" on her. It made her "angry that my privacy can be violated like this." She had tried to escape these forces in ÖBB night trains and "with friends," and eventually sought peace in the Airbnb apartment.

In the accommodation, however, she was apparently too loud for the building manager. He pointed out to her to be quieter. "That's when she punched me right away," the 36-year-old man told the judge. After the punch, he immediately ran to his apartment and called the police, "because de-escalation was no longer possible. She half-kicked in my door. She pounded on it for minutes in her rage."

55-Year-Old Feared for His Eyesight During Knife Threat

"That was the cheapest ghetto door," the defendant countered. The man had come at her, she claimed: "I feared for my eyesight." She couldn't have acted differently: "It was self-defense." The altercation with the other man occurred because the 31-year-old had brushed against the 55-year-old with her shopping bag at the main train station. Subsequently, the two got into a dispute and exchanged verbal insults. She didn't have to put up with "certain words," the defendant argued: "It was spring. Men are like that, how should I say." In this case, however, her opponent went too far: "He wouldn't leave me alone."

Knife Against "Telepathic" Threats

She always carries a knife in her boot since she has been "telepathically threatened," the 31-year-old testified: "It's a vegetable knife, with which I cut a sausage roll or a pepper." She admitted to having drawn the knife and pointed it at her adversary: "But I didn't lower the handle." The man "just wouldn't leave my field. I didn't want to kill him. I wanted him to disappear."

If a man "doesn't leave," she knows how to help herself, the defendant revealed: "I was internally agitated and felt threatened. I wanted to scare him away. I have been attacked by telepathic forces for years. I was agitated." On one hand, they "grope the fields," on the other, men are generally "very coercive" towards her. "I'm already on the verge of going abroad because of this. I can't handle it in Austria anymore."

The incident at the main train station was classified by the court as a dangerous threat, the one on Laxenburger Street as bodily harm and property damage. With a penalty threat of up to one year, the judge deemed four months appropriate for the act and guilt, which the woman received conditionally with a three-year probation period. The 31-year-old and the prosecutor agreed to this. Since the defendant was not legally represented, the verdict is not formally final. The 31-year-old can still appeal the verdict within three days.
