The 14-year-old who threatened a classmate of the same age with a brought-in knife in the classroom on Tuesday in the southern Burgenland district of Güssing reportedly announced a rampage the following day, according to media reports.
The Eisenstadt public prosecutor's office then ordered the temporary arrest of the teenager, according to the "Kronen Zeitung". Pre-trial detention was imposed, reported ORF Burgenland online. The authority was not available for comment.
Dispute over Pencil Case as Trigger
The trigger for the knife threat on Tuesday is believed to have been a dispute over a pencil case. No one was injured in the incident. The boy, who is already of criminal age and of Syrian descent, was reported for dangerous threats in this case, according to the Burgenland State Police Directorate.
